C. PERIASWAMI GOUNDAN AND ORS. vs SUNDARESA IYER AND ORS.

The Supreme Court ruled that the principle of Lost Grant cannot be invoked when the terms of the grant are clear, as established by the inam register and inam statement, confirming the deity's title to both Varams. The Court held that the High Court erred in allocating land between the trustees and archakas in a suit for ejectment, as there was no evidence to support such apportionment. The Court directed that possession be delivered to the plaintiffs, who had established their title to the properties, emphasizing that remuneration considerations for archakas are inappropriate in ejectment suits.
