Judgment
The senior member of a native Christian family governed by the Indian Succession Act can not have the status of the managing member of a
Joint Hindu family even if all the members of the family live together and the senior member manages the affairs of the family. It is not alleged nor
proved that the first defendant was constituted by the other defendants as their agent to borrow for the purpose of conducting the litigation in which
they wore engaged. The fact that he was conducting the litigation on behalf of all and advancing the costs out of borrowed funds is not enough to
imply an agency such as would entitle him to borrow on their credit. The Second Appeal therefore fails and is dismissed with costs.
