Neither he nor his father were parties to prior suit or appeal, and no adverse finding was recorded against them. Hence, the executing court must consider whether Khasra No. 179 is part of Khasra Nos. 13 and 14, and if not, ascertain whether the respondent is entitled to possess Khasra No. 179; courts below erred in not adjudicating these questions.
