Kavishka Dilshan Wijesinghe and others vs D.M. Jayawardhana and others – CARII 0009/2024-2025

This case involves an application for Restitutio-in-Integrum and/or Revision filed by the 2C and 3rd Defendant-Petitioner-Petitioner-Petitioners against D.M. Jayawardhana (Plaintiff-Respondent-Respondent-Respondent) and R.M. Sumanawathi (1st Defendant-Respondent-Respondent-Respondent). The petitioners sought to set aside a District Court settlement dated 12.12.2018, which demarcated boundaries between lands and discharged the 2nd and 3rd defendants, and a subsequent Civil Appellate High Court judgment dated 15.11.2023 that dismissed their revision application. The core legal issues revolved around whether the settlement prejudiced the petitioners’ co-ownership rights, complied with procedural codes, or was entered into without proper authority. The Court of Appeal dismissed the application
