The Supreme Court examined the rights of a Kudikidappukaran under the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963, specifically Section 80A, which allows such individuals to purchase land adjoining their Kudikidappu. The Court upheld the findings of the Land Tribunal and Appellate Authority that the appellant was entitled to purchase ten cents of land, rejecting the High Court's limitation to two cents based on the timing of the appellant's occupation. The Court concluded that the appellant's rights were not contingent on the disputed mortgage deed dated 4.3.1963, affirming the entitlement to the full extent of land as per statutory provisions.
