1 - 4 of 4 (0.28 seconds)L. Mary Yohannan vs N.K. Sreekumaran Nair And Anr. on 25 October, 1991
5. The main thrust of challenge against the concurrent
decision of the courts below negativing the main reliefs
canvassed in the suit and partly allowing of the counter claims of
the contesting defendants, advanced by the learned counsel for
the plaintiffs is based on the inherent lack of jurisdiction of the
courts below to enter a decision on the disputed questions
involved in the case without making a reference to the Land
Tribunal to determine and demarcate the undisputed
kudikidappu of the plaintiffs over a portion of plaint 'A' schedule
property. Adverting to the materials collected and produced
before this Court pursuant to orders issued as to when the
panchayat area comprising the suit property, 'A' schedule,
situate in Sy.No.1016/2 in Cheranelloor village had been
included as part of the Municipal Corporation of Cochin, the
learned counsel for the plaintiffs relying on Section 80A (3) of
the Kerala Land Reforms Act, for short the 'Act', and also the
judicial pronouncement rendered by this Court in Mary
Yohannan v. Sreekumaran Nair (1991 (2) KLT 751 (FB))
R.S.A.NO.801/2007 8
contended that the plaintiffs are legally entitled to have ten cents
out of 'A' schedule as their kudikidappu holding and the
decisions concurrently rendered by both the courts below as if
they had only three cents of land was totally erroneous,
fallacious and unsustainable under law. The disputed questions
canvassed in the suit and counter claim relating to the
kudikidappu right and amenities attached thereto, claimed by
plaintiffs, and mandatory injunction applied by the defendants
with recovery of site of the structures on demolition, warranted
raising issue over the kudikidappu claim of the plaintiffs and its
reference to the Land Tribunal, and the decision rendered
without making such reference is void, is the further challenge
canvassed by the counsel.
