Nagaha Pillewe Ayupala & Munde HenegedaraJayawathie vs Thenne Kumburagedara Muthu Banda – CA APPEAL NO. 1290/96 F -2011

The case between Thenne Kumburagedara Muthu Banda (plaintiff-respondent) and Nagaha Pillewe Ayupala and Munde Henegedara Jayawathie (defendant-appellants) addressed the issue of entitlement to a declaration of title, ejectment, and damages regarding Lot 2 of the land known as Moralande Hena. It was determined that the plaintiff, having acquired title through a final partition decree and executed a writ of possession, maintained superior legal claim over the disputed property. The findings established that the defendants lacked lawful authority to re-enter or continue in possession of the land following eviction. The judgment reaffirmed the principle that clear title derived from partition proceedings, supported by lawful execution of writs, prevails against subsequent acts of trespass. Rel
