Parathalawe Wahalkade Gedara Dharmasena et al. vs Gonaarambe Mudiyanselage Tikiri Banda et al. – CA PHC/199/2001-2015

In the case between Parathalawe Wahalkade Gedara Dharmasena and others (Second Party – Petitioner – Appellants) and Gonaarambe Mudiyanselage Tikiri Banda and another (First Party – Respondent – Respondent), the legal issue centered on whether the High Court and Primary Court orders awarding possession of disputed land were correct under the Primary Courts’ Procedure Act, and whether the revisionary jurisdiction of the High Court should intervene. The findings established that the Primary Court correctly determined prior possession was with the First Party – Respondent and that forcible dispossession by the Second Party – Petitioner – Appellants was proven. Reference was made to statutory provisions, specifically Sections 66, 68, and 69 of the Primary Courts’ Procedure Act, and precedent. T
