Chidambaram Chettiar v. Srinivasa Sastrial and others

body1914
Lord Moulton:- Their Lordships are of opinion that the two decisions appealed against are correct; that the High Court acted rightly in setting aside the two assignments, the one to Annamalai and the other to Chidambaram, and that no valid proceedings can therefore be based on either of those assignments. The question whether any of the parties can establish rights based, not on the assignments, but on other grounds, such as the actual payment of debts, is a point which was, in their Lordships' opinion, not before the Courts below, and is not before their Lordships, and on that point therefore they pronounce no opinion. Their Lordships will, therefore, humbly advise His Majesty that these appeals should be dismissed. Appeals dismissed.
