1. This Revision Petition has been referred to a Full Bench to consider the correctness of the ruling of a Division Bench of this Court in Kumaran v. Prabhakaran Pillai (1977 KLT. 53).

The respondent to that application, whom we may call the 'landlord' is the revision petitioner before us. The application. (O.A. 290 of 1971) was filed on 19-10-1971 by one Malothparambil Ariyayi before the Land Tribunal, Chelannur. In the relevant column the right on which she claimed was described as: right of succession ]n3XpSkmhImiw . This has given rise to a contention on behalf of the revision petitioner that the claim of the applicant was as heir of her mother, Mangot Vayalil Ariyayi, who died only on 9-1-1976, and that an application as heir, on succession to the mother, was not maintainable, when made. The mother was in possession of the properties in question with the permission of the landlord. She had obtained an assignment from the District Welfare Officer, Calicut, on 16-7-1969, of an extent of land, which the revision petitioner claimed to be of an extent of 101/2 c
