This second appeal is filed as against the concurrent

findings of the Courts below.

2.The first defendant in O.S.No.49 of 2014 is the

appellant herein. The above suit has been filed by the plaintiff/the

first respondent herein, as against the appellant and her husband for

a relief of recovery of money. The plaintiff is a Mazon, who is said

to have constructed a house for the appellant and the second

defendant in the year 2012, for which, the amount has not been

settled by them. Therefore, the first respondent/plaintiff has filed the

above suit for recovery of money and the same was decreed in

favour of the plaintiff by the Sub Court Thanjavur, by its judgment

and decree, dated 21.03.2018. Challenging the same, the first

defendant has filed an appeal before the II Additional District and

Sessions Court, Thanjavur in A.S.No.37 of 2018 and it was

dismissed by the first Appellate Court by its Judgment and decree,
