JUDGMENT

S.B. Majmudar, J.-Both these appeals by special leave challenge judgment of the High Court of Kerala at Ernakulam rendered in two Revision Applications moved by two different sets of defendants/judgment-debtors who were parties to Original Civil Suit No. 22 of 1946 of the Sub-Court, Manjeri and who were sought to be evicted from the suit property by the decree-holder in one and the same Execution Petition No. 543 of 1962. Two separate Revision Applications came to be filed in the High Court raising identical contentions by these two sets of contesting defendants because they had lost in two separate appeals filled by them against the Executing Court s order before the Sub-Court at Manjeri. In both these revision applications the appellants raised identical contentions which were repelled by the High Court and that it how they are before this Court in these two appeals. As identical question arises for our consideration the appeals were heard together and are being disposed of by this common judgment.

2. A short point arises for our consideration in these appeals. The appellants contend that they are entitled to the benefit of Section 4A of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, Act I
