Sri Kalameghaperumal Devasthanam Vs. V. Kalamega Iyengar and ors.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Mar-06-1957

Reported in: (1957)2MLJ579

Rajagopalan, J.1. These appeals arose out of the claims preferred to the Estates Abolition Tribunal under Section 42 of Madras Act XXVI of 1948 for the payment out of the advance compensation deposited with the Tribunal for thirteen inam estates notified and taken over by the Government under the Act.2. Four of the these inam estates each consisted of the whole village. In the case of the other nine only three-fourths of each of the villages constituted the inam estate, the other fourth in each of these nine villages constituted a separate inam, which was admittedly granted to the Thirumohur Devasthanam, and we are not concerned with those grants now. It was common ground that each of these thirteen inam estates was granted as an inam to the ancestors of the three temple servants, who between them claimed the compensation amount, to provide for the performance of specified services, Archakam and Paricharakam, in the temple. When these grants were confirmed by the Inam Commission, an ob...

Rajamannar, C.J.1. The view taken by Raghava Rao, J., in the Judgment under appeal is supported by the rulings in Modali Ademma v.

Mr. Raman, lor the appellant, contended that the later ruling of a Bench of this Court in Aru-oachalam lyer v, K, N. Liugiah : AIR1953Mad71 sounds a different note tond that it would support his case. We do not agree With him.
