A.M. Mohamed Mawjood v. Rev. Yatawatte Sumanajothi et al. – 79/2010-2010

In the case between A.M. Mohamed Mawjood and K.M. Mohamed Farook (Plaintiffs) and Rev. Yatawatte Sumanajothi (Vivekaramaya) and others (Defendants), the court addressed whether a 4.1 Perch land with a tenement was held in trust under Section 83 of the Trusts Ordinance. The issue also encompassed the validity of multiple property transfers, particularly those executed by Deed Nos. 706 and 1024, and the evidentiary requirement to establish a trust, including the sufficiency of an alleged oral agreement. The sequence of events involved disputed transfers of title and conflicting claims regarding the creation of a trust. Upon review, it was held that no valid trust relationship was established according to the evidentiary standard required by law, and thus the appeal was dismissed without cost
