Transfer of Property Act (IV of 1882)---------Ss. 60, 61-Plaintiff -mortgagors must sue to redeem the entire mortgage and not their own share only-One of the mortgagors alone subsequently mortgaging property to mortgagee-Plaintiffs-mortgagors not bound to redeem such subsequent mortgage along with the first.
