4. The pedigree has been given in the plaint and judgment of the trial court and that of the 1st appellate Court which is as under:- 5. The learned counsel for the appellant argued that property was acquired by Ram Dihal who had three sons Bhaggo, Bhan and Mulla. Ban and Mulla sold their ?rd share to Bhangoo. In this way Bhagoo had acquired ?rd share in his own capacity and ?rd share of Bhaggo was ancestral. Since the land in dispute was fixed rate tenancy, therefore the perosnal law will be applicable and after the sale of Bhango will be having their share in ?rd share of Bhaggoo, therefore Bhaggoo has right to sell the share of his son regarding the ancestral property in respect of ?rd share whole. The trial court has found the contention of the defendant and appellant is second appeal to be true but the first appellate court has upset that finding. No one is present for the respondent, therefore, on this legal point the appeal is allowed and the order of the first appellate court is set aside and that of the trial court is restored.
