Amina Beevi vs Thachi & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's decision that the assignment of leasehold rights under Ext.A3 by Kunjali to Abdul Kadar constituted a surrender of interest, which is prohibited under Section 51 of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963. The Court clarified that the legal heirs of Kunjali, having been dispossessed, should seek remedy through the Land Tribunal under Section 13A of the Act rather than through civil courts. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
