Rambukkanage Anura Jayalath and Rambukkanage Dayawathie v. Paranagamage Don Asantha and Several Others – CA 96/2003/RA-2018

In the case between Paranagamage Don Asantha Paranagama (Substituted Plaintiff-Respondent) and Rambukkanage Anura Jayalath, Rambukkanage Dayawathie (24A and 28, Defendants-Petitioners), the issue concerned the correctness of the District Judge’s order dated 18.06.2002 in implementing a previous partition judgment. The dispute focused on whether the distribution of shares correctly reflected the judgment regarding the estate of Juwanis Fernando, specifically the exclusion of the 3rd defendant as an heir and the proper allocation of shares involving Podilina and Thegis Appu. It was held that allocation attributed to Podilina was erroneous, as her shares should have devolved and should not have remained unallotted, and that Thegis Appu was entitled to a greater share than initially recognized
