Balakrishnan Nair, J.\n<\/p>\n
      The    applicants   before     the   Forest     Tribunal, Kozhikode  in<\/p>\n
O.A.No.30\/2000 are the appellants. The respondents therein are the<\/p>\n
respondents in this appeal.\n<\/p>\n
      2. The brief facts of the case are the following: The appellants claim<\/p>\n
possession and ownership over one acre of land in Sy.No.168\/1 of<\/p>\n
Mannarkkad – I Village, Arakkurussi Amsom in Mannarkkad Taluk,<\/p>\n
Palakkad district. The said property is scheduled to the application. The<\/p>\n
jenmom right over the property belonged to Kizhakkepatt Radha Amma.<\/p>\n
K.P.Moideenkutty Sahib was a kanom right holder under the said landlord.<\/p>\n
Kunhi Ayisumma was a lessee under the said kanom right holder. The<\/p>\n
husband of the 1st appellant\/applicant got the said property along with other<\/p>\n
properties from Kunhi Ayisumma. The disputed property was gifted to the<\/p>\n
1st appellant and her two minor children, as per document No.2085\/87 of<\/p>\n
MFA 561\/2003                          2<\/span><\/p>\n
S.R.O., Mannarkkad dated 23.5.1987. On 1.8.2000 the officials of the<\/p>\n
Forest Department obstructed them from carrying out agricultural<\/p>\n
operations in the land.      Therefore, the O.A was filed, praying for a<\/p>\n
declaration that the scheduled property         is not a private forest.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, it was claimed that the property was exempted under the<\/p>\n
provisions of the Kerala Private Forests (Vesting and Assignment) Act,<\/p>\n
1971 (Act 26 of 1971) (hereinafter referred to as “the Vesting Act”). There<\/p>\n
are cashew trees and tapping rubber trees in the property. So, exemption<\/p>\n
was claimed under Sections 3(2) and 3(3) of the Vesting Act.<\/p>\n
       3. The D.F.O., Mannarkkad filed a counter statement in the O.A.,<\/p>\n
resisting the claim of the appellants. It was submitted that the disputed<\/p>\n
property forms part of Thathengalam Malavaram, having an extent of 1039<\/p>\n
hectares and it comes under VFC item Nos. 1 and 38 in Sy.No.168\/1 of<\/p>\n
Mannarkkad – I Village. The above Malavaram was surveyed, demarcated<\/p>\n
and notified in 1977. The notification was duly published long ago. So, the<\/p>\n
application is barred by limitation. The entire Malavaram was covered by<\/p>\n
the provisions of      the Madras Preservation of Private Forests Act<\/p>\n
(hereinafter referred to as “the Madras Act”). The property was fenced with<\/p>\n
barbed wire in 1995 by the Social Forestry Wing of the Forest Department.<\/p>\n
The cashew trees in the property are 7 to 12 years old and the rubber trees<\/p>\n
MFA 561\/2003                            3<\/span><\/p>\n
are aged below 10 years. There is a wild growth of trees belonging to forest<\/p>\n
species in the property. It is a private forest vested in the Government and<\/p>\n
the applicants are not entitled to get the benefit of Section 3(2) or Section 3<\/p>\n
(3) of the Vesting Act.\n<\/p>\n
       4. The Tribunal framed the following issues for its consideration:<\/p>\n
       (1) Whether the application is barred by limitation?<\/p>\n
       (2) Whether the applicant or predecessors have right or title to the<\/p>\n
property?\n<\/p>\n
       (3) Whether the property is a private forest vested in the Government?<\/p>\n
       (4) Whether the applicant is entitled for the benefit u\/s.3(2) or 3(3) of<\/p>\n
the Act?\n<\/p>\n
The evidence in this case consists of the oral testimony of P.Ws.1 and 2 and<\/p>\n
RW1. Exts.A1 to A7 were marked from the side of the applicants and<\/p>\n
Exts.B1 to B4 were marked from the side of the respondents.                The<\/p>\n
Commissioner’s report Ext.C1 and the sketch Ext.C2 were also marked.<\/p>\n
The Tribunal found that the applicants have no right over the property. It<\/p>\n
was also found that the land in question is part of a private forest vested in<\/p>\n
the Government and the applicants are not entitled to get the benefit of<\/p>\n
Section 3(2) or Section 3(3) of the Vesting Act. The appellants attack the<\/p>\n
said findings in this appeal.\n<\/p>\n
MFA 561\/2003                           4<\/span><\/p>\n
      5. The learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the finding<\/p>\n
of the Tribunal that the area in question is a private forest, is unsustainable<\/p>\n
in law. The finding that the area is covered by the Madras Act is made<\/p>\n
without any basis. According to him, the definition of “forest” in Section<\/p>\n
2(a) of the Madras Act will not cover the land in question. Further, in the<\/p>\n
absence of a notification issued by the District Collector, the area in<\/p>\n
question is not one, which is covered by the provisions of the Madras Act.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, it was submitted that since the Commissioner has reported<\/p>\n
about the growing of rubber trees and cashew trees and about the absence of<\/p>\n
trees belonging to forest species, it should be found that the appellants were<\/p>\n
cultivating the land and they were in possession of it since 10.5.1971.<\/p>\n
      6. We heard the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for<\/p>\n
the respondents. He fully supported the findings of the Tribunal. He made<\/p>\n
special reference to the finding of the Advocate Commissioner, which<\/p>\n
would show that there was no cultivation in the land as on 10.5.1971, the<\/p>\n
appointed day on which the Vesting Act came into force.<\/p>\n
      7.   The Tribunal found that Ext.B1 notification produced by the<\/p>\n
respondents will take in the disputed property also. Ext.B2 sketch produced<\/p>\n
by them would show that the property is part of V.F.C. item Nos.1 and 38.<\/p>\n
The Tribunal also took note of the fact that Thathengalam Malavaram is<\/p>\n
MFA 561\/2003                           5<\/span><\/p>\n
having an extent of 1039 hectares and it is covered by the Madras Act.<\/p>\n
Going by Section 1(2) of the Madras Act, the private forests in the district<\/p>\n
of Malabar and South Kanara having a contiguous area of 100 acres will be<\/p>\n
covered by the provisions of the said Act. Clause (iii) of sub-section (2) of<\/p>\n
Section 1 of the Madras Act contemplated a notification, if a contiguous<\/p>\n
area exceeding 100 acres covered by forest, is in other areas of Madras<\/p>\n
State. By the amendment introduced to that clause, deleting the State of<\/p>\n
Madras and substituting Malabar, some confusion has been created. But,<\/p>\n
going by clause (i) of sub-section (2) of Section 1, it is clear that a<\/p>\n
declaration or notification by the State Government is not necessary for the<\/p>\n
applicability of the Madras Act, if private forests exceeding 100 acres are<\/p>\n
situated in Malabar or South Kanara districts. Section 2(a) of the Madras<\/p>\n
Act defines forest. It is an inclusive definition, which reads as follows:<\/p>\n
       “(a) ‘forest’ includes waste or communal land containing trees
\n       and shrubs, pasture land and any other class of land declared by
\n       the State Government to be a forest by notification in the
\n       Kerala Government Gazette.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We notice that a declaration by the State Government in the Kerala Gazette<\/p>\n
is required only in relation to “any other class of land” not covered by the<\/p>\n
first part of the definition. So, notification by the State Government is not<\/p>\n
necessary to have a forest in terms of the said Act. Therefore, we find that<\/p>\n
MFA 561\/2003                              6<\/span><\/p>\n
the finding of the Tribunal that since the Malavaram has an extent of 1039<\/p>\n
hectares, it is covered by the Madras Act, is sustainable in law.<\/p>\n
       8. The next point to be considered is whether the appellants are<\/p>\n
entitled to get the benefit of Sections 3(2) and 3(3) of the Vesting Act.<\/p>\n
Section 3(2) exempts land under the personal cultivation of an owner before<\/p>\n
the appointed day. Section 3(3) exempts private forest held by the owner<\/p>\n
under a valid title, executed before the appointed day. So, the property must<\/p>\n
be under personal cultivation before the appointed day or should have been<\/p>\n
held as an owner under a valid document executed before the appointed day.<\/p>\n
Going by the evidence on record, we feel that there is no material to show<\/p>\n
that on the appointed day, the appellants were cultivating the land or they<\/p>\n
were holding the land as contemplated under the above said sub-sections of<\/p>\n
Section 3 of the Vesting Act. The Commissioner’s report would show that<\/p>\n
there was wild growth of about 20 rubber trees aged about 20 years and 26<\/p>\n
cashew trees aged about 5 to 10 years. The case of the appellants before the<\/p>\n
Tribunal was that they were holding the property and were in possession of<\/p>\n
it and for the first time, the forest officials interfered with their possession in<\/p>\n
the year 2000. The above claim is not supported by the Commissioner’s<\/p>\n
report.\n<\/p>\n
       9. The learned counsel for the appellants tried to canvass that after<\/p>\n
MFA 561\/2003                          7<\/span><\/p>\n
10.5.1971, the appellants were not allowed to enter the property and<\/p>\n
therefore, there was no cultivation. The said contention does not go with the<\/p>\n
pleadings before the Tribunal. Before the Tribunal, as mentioned earlier,<\/p>\n
they stated that interference from the part of the forest officials took place<\/p>\n
only in the year 2000. Therefore, we agree with the finding of the Tribunal<\/p>\n
that the appellants\/applicants are not entitled to get the benefit of sub-<\/p>\n
section (2) or sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Vesting Act.<\/p>\n
      In the result, we uphold the decision of the Tribunal. We fully concur<\/p>\n
with its reasons and conclusions. Accordingly, the M.F.A is dismissed.<\/p>\n
