Andra Hennedige Chandrarathne v. Dayathileke Patabendige Edirisooriya – SC APPEAL 143/2012-2016

In the case between Andra Hennedige Chandrarathne (representing Nakulugamuwa, Kudawella South) and Dayathileke Patabendige Edirisooriya “Dayani” with Kusuma Abeysooriya (representing Dodampahala/Dickwella), the court addressed the issue of whether property, transferred through a deed that included a condition for repayment of a loan within a specific period, should revert to the Appellant due to alleged non-fulfilment of terms and purported fraud.

The findings established that claims regarding the absence of a definite repayment period and fraudulent execution were not supported b
