It is suggested that in making the partition the arbitrator followed the new obsolete rule of Hindu Law giving the eldest brother an extra share as &#8221; Jeshtabhagam &#8220;, and therefore, under Section 14, Clause (c), of the Second Schedule, Civil Procedure Code, the award was illegal on the face of it. Though he uses the word &#8221; Jeshtabhagam &#8221; in para. 5 of his award, we do not think the arbitrator was applying any rule of Jeshtabhagam to the case, for, if he was doing so, he would have given a half share to the plaintiff of all the properties and only a one-fourth share to each of his brothers. HG has only allowed the eldest brother to take the whole of the sum of Rs. 3,128 due to the family in consideration of his having looked after his brothers carefully for many years and by educating them enabled them to attain responsible positions in life. We do not think such an award can be said to be illegal. The lower. Court has accepted the award and passed a decree in terms of it, and, in the circumstances, it is doubtful, if a revision lies at all : &#8216;See Batcha Sahib v. Abdul Gunny (1914) 38 Mad. 256.
