S. VALLINAYAGAM vs LUKE STEPHEN & ANR.

The Supreme Court directed the trial court to appoint an advocate commissioner to inspect the cardamom plantations and report on their status, following an appeal from the Kerala High Court's order. The Court emphasized the need for a report to determine the extent of the plantations and the necessity to cut trees for uninterrupted cultivation. The appeal was disposed of with directions for the civil court to expedite the suit's resolution by December 1996, upholding the High Court's directives without costs.
