JUDGMENT

The Review petition is on the ground that the settlement deed involved in this case was not attested by two witnesses and there is failure on the part of this court to consider the said question. In Ext.A4 settlement deed, prima facie it appears that it is attested by two witnesses. The question of animus testandi was not raised or disputed for adjudication. On the other hand, the suit is one for declaration that Ext.A5 cancellation is valid and to set aside Ext.A4 settlement deed. In fact, the question whether the attesting witnesses were possessing the required animus had never come up for consideration. It is an admitted case of execution of settlement deed, but sought to set aside the same based on the cancellation deed, Ext.A5. In Ext.A4 document, there are two attesting witnesses. The legal position was settled by this Court in F.A.O(RO) No.7/2020 dated 16/09/2021 (given for reporting). As such, the review fails, dismissed. Sd/- P.SOMARAJAN JUDGE msp RP NO. 676 OF 2021 3 APPENDIX OF RP 676/2021 PETITIONERS ANNEXURE Annexure A1 ORIGINAL MEDICAL CERTIFICATE DATED 24/08/2021 ISSUED BY THE CHIEF AYURVEDIC PHYSICIAN ARUN'S AYUR CLINIC, THATTAMALA, KOLLAM.
