JUDGMENT

¶279

A. MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, J.

¶280

These appeals arose from a common judgment in OS No.2 of 1976 of the Sub Court, Kavarathi.

¶281

In a suit for partition, the trial court partly allowed the suit excluding the properties of defendant Nos.20 to 22. In appeal before this Court by the contesting defendant and the plaintiffs, this Court held that the suit is not maintainable. In this intra court appeal, the judgment of the learned Single Judge is called in question.

¶282

Since the suit was found as not maintainable for non joinder of the entire 'thavazhi' members, there is no bar under law to file a fresh suit after arraigning all the members of 'thavazhi' as parties to the suit. It was found by the trial court that it is a 'velliyazhcha' property. The

¶283

AFA Nos.23/1992, 29/1993 & 31/1993

¶284

..27..

¶285

parties, admittedly, follow the pristine Marumakkathayam System of law. A Full Bench of this Court, in Kunhipappada Beefathummabi v. Kunhipappada Kunhikoya [2006 (2) KLT 560 (FB)], held that a suit to enforce partition of 'velliyazhcha' property cannot be maintainable if an individual member of 'thavazhi' himself files it and partition is to be effected per capita and not by per stirpes. In the light of the above fact finding, we do not find any merit in AFA No.23 of 1992. However, there is no bar under law for the members of 'thavazhi' to file a fresh suit in accordance with law. Therefore, we confirm the dismissal of the suit.

¶286

As regards AFA No. 29 of 1993, we note that it is filed against a finding. No issue has been decided in this matter. A mere finding will not operate as res judicata and it cannot be also subject to a challenge in appeal unless the issue is decided against the aggrieved. In the light of the dismissal of the suit as not maintainable, we leave open all issues to be decided in future, including the

¶287

AFA Nos.23/1992, 29/1993 & 31/1993

¶288

..28..

¶289

matter relating to any adverse finding now made as against the appellant in AFA No. 29 of 1993.

¶290

With observations as above, AFA Nos. 23 of 1992, 29 of 1993 and 31 of 1993 stand dismissed.
