History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.178

v4.c63.178

⁴¹⁶ If a plaintiff states ' the defendant stole my gold, I deposited a thousand *drammas* with him which he does not return, he sold a cow to me without being its owner ', there is a joinder of three vyavahārapadas viz. *steya, nikṣepa, asvāmivikraya*. This is not a bad or altogether unacceptable plaint. All that is meant is that the trial of all these cannot be carried on simultaneously, but one after another.
