NO. 191 OF 2007\n                              ---------------------\n                 Dated this the 6thday of December, 2007\n\n                              J U D G M E N T\n<\/pre>\n<p>        Plaintiff in O.S. 603\/2000 on the file of Munsiff Court, Kozhikode is<\/p>\n<p>the appellant. Respondents are defendants. Plaintiff instituted the suit<\/p>\n<p>seeking a decree for permanent prohibitory injunction contending that plaint<\/p>\n<p>schedule property along with other land was originally entrusted to<\/p>\n<p>P.V.Abdul Khader, father of the appellant, by the Port Department in 1960<\/p>\n<p>as per lease agreement and Abdul Khader was conducting a coir factory<\/p>\n<p>and while so in 1963-64 he entrusted it to M.M.Thybali retaining his status<\/p>\n<p>as Manager under an oral entrustment.             Another land adjacent to the<\/p>\n<p>factory having an extent of 800&#215;20 ft. was also in the possession of<\/p>\n<p>appellant as lease hold property. Thybali received property having a total<\/p>\n<p>extent of 10.50&#215;80 ft. and was conducting the coir factory under the name<\/p>\n<p>and style of &#8220;M.P.Rope Works&#8221;. In 1985, that property was returned back<\/p>\n<p>to Abdul Khader after receiving consideration. Since then, it is functioning<\/p>\n<p>under the name Sadhu Coir Works with 50 employees and now 30<\/p>\n<p>employees are working there.       The said employees with their family are<\/p>\n<p>depending on the income being derived from the coir factory. It was also<\/p>\n<p>contended that the factory is having electricity and telephone connections.<\/p>\n<p>In the meanwhile, some area bound the said land was taken by the<\/p>\n<p>RSA NO.191\/07                    Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>Revenue Department for development of Beach road.           Plaint schedule<\/p>\n<p>property in possession of the appellant is having kuzhikore effected by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant or his predecessor.         On 31.1.1997 Abdul Khader died.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter appellant along with other defendant are in possession of the<\/p>\n<p>property. Appellant and his predecessors have been in possession of the<\/p>\n<p>property uninterruptedly for the last more than 40 years. The Government<\/p>\n<p>did not take any action under Land Conservancy Act. So Government has<\/p>\n<p>lost the title by adverse possession and respondents are not entitled to<\/p>\n<p>tress pass into the plaint schedule property or demolish the building or<\/p>\n<p>remove appellant from possession of the property. It was also contended<\/p>\n<p>that on 23.8.2000 some officers of the Revenue Department came to the<\/p>\n<p>plaint schedule property and demanded demolition and removal of the<\/p>\n<p>building for the purpose of road works.           So respondents are to be<\/p>\n<p>restrained from demolishing the building.      First respondent resisted the<\/p>\n<p>suit contending that appellant has no right in the plaint schedule property<\/p>\n<p>and PWD is proceeding with the work of road development. Because of<\/p>\n<p>the obstruction caused by the appellant, the work could not be completed<\/p>\n<p>in that area. The suit is bad for non-joinder of PWD. It was contended that<\/p>\n<p>appellant or his predecessor was not in possession of the property and<\/p>\n<p>they have not perfect right by adverse possession and appellant is not<\/p>\n<p>entitled to the decree sought for.\n<\/p>\n<p>RSA NO.191\/07                   Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>         2. Learned counsel on the evidence of PWS 1 and 2, Exts. A1 to<\/p>\n<p>A63 and C1 &amp; C2, dismissed the suit holding that appellant did not<\/p>\n<p>establish the title by adverse possession and holding that first respondent<\/p>\n<p>is entitled to take possession of the property. Appellant challenged the<\/p>\n<p>judgment before the Sub court, Kozhikode in A.S. No.130\/2003. Learned<\/p>\n<p>sub judge on reappreciation of evidence confirmed the findings of the<\/p>\n<p>learned Munsiff and dismissed the appeal. It is challenged in the second<\/p>\n<p>appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>         3.   Learned counsel appearing for appellant was heard.        The<\/p>\n<p>argument of the learned counsel is that courts below did not properly<\/p>\n<p>appreciate the facts or the evidence and it should have found that Abdul<\/p>\n<p>Khader has been in possession of the property for the last more than 40<\/p>\n<p>years and title of the State has been lost by adverse possession and<\/p>\n<p>limitation.  It was further argued that Government has not taken any<\/p>\n<p>proceedings under Land Conservancy Act and it establishes that even if<\/p>\n<p>Government has any right, it was lost. It was also contended that courts<\/p>\n<p>below should have granted a lesser relief even if, the major relief sough for<\/p>\n<p>cannot not grated.\n<\/p>\n<p>         4. On hearing the learned counsel, I do not find any substantial<\/p>\n<p>question of law involved in the appeal.      Plaint schedule property is<\/p>\n<p>admittedly Government land. Appellant claimed that it was entrusted to his<\/p>\n<p>father Abdul Khader and he has been in possession of the property since<\/p>\n<p>RSA NO.191\/07                    Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>then and Government has not taken any action under Kerala Land<\/p>\n<p>Conservancy Act and as appellant is continuing the uninterrupted<\/p>\n<p>possession of the property, title of the Government is lost. But apart from<\/p>\n<p>contending that plaint schedule property was entrusted with the Abdul<\/p>\n<p>Khader, no evidence was produced to prove the entrustment. Even the<\/p>\n<p>nature of the entrustment was not disclosed there was no case of an<\/p>\n<p>assignment of the land. Hence even if there was an entrustment, it could<\/p>\n<p>only be either a lease or license. In both the case appellant cannot claim<\/p>\n<p>adverse possession either against the licensor or land lord. Courts below<\/p>\n<p>on the evidence rightly found that appellant or his predecessor did not<\/p>\n<p>establish title to the property perfected by adverse possession. Learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel argued that even if appellant is not entitled to a decree on the<\/p>\n<p>basis that he has not perfected title by adverse possession, courts below<\/p>\n<p>should have granted a lessor relief as appellant cannot be evicted other<\/p>\n<p>than by due process of law.        But appellant has not sought a decree<\/p>\n<p>restraining first respondent from taking possession other than by due<\/p>\n<p>process of law. There was no case that there was an attempt on the part<\/p>\n<p>of the Government to take possession of the property. Facts of the case<\/p>\n<p>reveal that the suit was dismissed on 29.3.03 and first appeal was<\/p>\n<p>dismissed on 29.11.06. If there was attempt to evict appellant other than<\/p>\n<p>by due process of law Government could have done it as the first appeal<\/p>\n<p>was dismissed more than one year back. In such circumstances I find<\/p>\n<p>RSA NO.191\/07                     Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>reason to grant the limited relief sought for by the Appellant.      As no<\/p>\n<p>substantial question of law is involved appeal is dismissed in limine. It is<\/p>\n<p>made clear that dismissal of the appeal will not prevent appellant from<\/p>\n<p>claiming right, if any, available under Land Conservancy Act.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n\n\n\n                                        M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE\nvps\n\nRSA NO.191\/07    Page numbers\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Bichikoya vs State Of Kerala on 6 December, 2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM RSA No. 191 of 2007() 1.
