Chockalingam Pillai And Ors. vs Mayandi Chettiar on 13 August, 1896
Again, in Mayandi Chettiar v. Chokalingam Pillai 31 I.A. 83 : 27 M. 291 : 8 C.W.N. 545 : 19 M.L.J. 200 (P.C.), where their Lordships reversed the decisions of the Madras High Court in Chokalingam Pillai v. Mayandi Chettiar 19 M. 485 : 6 M.L.T. 247, the question was raised whether the transaction evidenced by a muchilika deed was a new grant or a confirmation with modification of a previous grant. Sir Andrew Scoble held that this was a question of the legal effect of the deed on which the title of the parties rested and was a question of law, upon which their Lordships disagreed with the Judges of the High Court.
