MANU SANTHOSH vs K. ACHUTHA PANICKER .

The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 3 of the Kerala Service Inam Lands (Vesting and Infringement) Act, 1981, determining that the Inam land vests in the Government and can be settled to those in possession. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's application for settlement, as the Settlement Officer's report indicated the appellant was in possession as of the appointed date. The Court held that the dismissal of the application was not in accordance with the law, thereby allowing the appeal and setting aside the High Court's judgment.
