Chacko Mathew vs Ayyappan Kutty on 19 December, 1961
"Regarding the second ground, the view explicitly taken by the learned Single Judge and implicit in the decision in Sivaramakumar v. Thiruvadina-tha Pillai, 1956 Ker LT 880 = (AIR 1957 Trav-Co 189) and certain observations in Mathew v. Avyappan Kutty, 1962 Ker LT 61 = (AIR 1962 Ker 164 (FB)) that a member of a tarwad can avoid an invalid sale made by the karnavan only by instituting a suit for the purpose
seems open to question. It is open to a member who is not a party to such a sale either to affirm it or to repudiate it, If he affirms it, he will not thereafter be allowed to go back on the affirmance; but, we are by no means certain that repudiation can only be by a suit."
