JUDGMENT 1. This appeal arises out of a suit to have it declared that certain property is the endowed property of certain idols, and cannot be sold in execution of a personal decree passed against the Plaintiffs, the shebaits of the idols. Both the lower Courts have decreed the suit. The Defendants appeal. It Is urged 6 C. W. N. 663 (1902) that a separate suit is not maintainable, (2) that the property is not entirely debutter and (3) that the Munsif had no jurisdiction, as the decretal amount exceeded Rs. 1,000. These pleas in our opinion must all fail. The Plaintiffs sue as shebaits on behalf of the idols. They are as such different persons from themselves as judgment-debtors, under the decree given against them in their personal capacity. The suit is therefore not barred by sec 244, C. P. C. The case of Ram Krishna Mahapatra v. Mahant Padma Charan Deb (1) is sufficient authority for this proposition. No ruling exactly contrary to this has been shown us. 2. We have examined the terms of the arpannama. It appears to us to be a valid dedication of the property to the worship of the idols named therein. 3. There can be no doubt that the Munsif had jurisdiction to decide the suit. The value of the property has been held by the Subordinate Judge to be less than Rs. 500. The appeal is dismissed with costs.
