Sunil Mathew Vs. State

Court : Kerala

..... the thrust of the argument by the learned counsel for the appellants is to the effect that when a property is relinquished in favour of the government it should be under the kerala land relinquishment act 1958 and it shall be through document. ..... though the government was not a party to the proceedings the defence in the said case was that as early as in the 1966 there had been relinquishment of the property in favour of the government and in pursuance of the same the government had been in possession and the panchayath authority had initiated steps to construct a primary health centre and therefore the plaintiffs who are claiming to have right over the property under ext.a1 doest not have any title to this property. ..... but the principle of absolute estoppal is writ large on this case because the plaintiffs have filed the suit for damages caused to the property on the strength of the title and in that case a competent court of jurisdiction had found in favour of relinquishment in favour of the government and held that the plaintiffs have no title to the property. ..... so the case of relinquishment set up by the government in 1966 is valid followed by a decision of the panchayath in the year 1968 and there is an admission by the plaintiffs' family regarding governmental possession in the year 1973 and also in the suit in 1986 wherein it is stated that the property is in possession of the government. .....
