In the case of Mohori Bibee v. Dharmodas Ghose, who was the defendant in the trial court?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The minor Dharmodas Ghose sued to have his mortgage cancelled. The original defendant was the mortgagee moneylender Brahmo Dutt; Mohori Bibee and the other executor continued the litigation after his death and appealed. The trial-court role therefore differs from the later appellate case title. Kedar Nath acted as attorney rather than the mortgagee defendant.
