Killi Latchamma And Anr. vs Killi Appanna And Ors. on 20 April, 1921
In Katama Nachiar v. Dora Singa Tevar (1875) 2 I.A. 169 at page 191 it was Laid down by the Privy Council "there can be no declaratory decree unless there is a right to consequential relief" and Navaneetha Krishna Thevar v. Ramaswami Pandiya Thalavar (1916) I.L.R. 40 Mad. 871 held that reversioners are not entitled to a decree that they are the next reversioners unless the question is incidental to the grant of some other relief to which they may be entitled. Here the plaintiffs are unquestionably entitled to bring a suit for a declaration as being next reversioners provided the adoption was also declared to be valid.
