A.A. Gopalakrishnan vs Cochin Devaswom Board & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order regarding the possession of 21 cents of land in Survey No.1042/2, affirming that the land belonged to the Karikkode Sastha and Maha Vishnu temple under the Cochin Devaswom Board. The Court ruled that the respondents could establish their title through a civil suit, as per the earlier decision. The Court confirmed the legality of the compromise reached between the parties for an exchange of land, thereby validating the decree of the Sub-court in O.S. No.399/1998.
