Soundaram vs Manikavelu — 68/2025

Summary: In this Tamil land dispute case (OS 68/2025) dated 13.11.2025, the Additional District Judge of Ramanathapuram recorded the cross-examination of the defendant (Manikkavelou) regarding various property transactions. The court examined the plaintiff's claims about inherited ancestral properties and subsequent land purchases made in the names of family members between 1982-1992, as well as a 2019 settlement deed gifting properties to the second defendant (the mother). The judgment rejects several of the plaintiff's contentions regarding ownership rights and the validity of the settlement deed, finding that the plaintiff failed to file the document timely and cannot claim rights to certain survey numbers. The court ruled against the plaintiff's plea for dismissal based on delay, noting insufficient grounds for such relief.
