Along with other items, this property had been demised by the Sthanam in favour of Thekkedath Maruthombilli Mana in the year 1065 under a document styled as a Panayam and making provision for payment of michavaram and other customary dues. Later on, this demise was renewed under Ext. VI dated 9.3.1092 and still later under Ext. V dated 3.11.1106. Pyloth, the predecessor-in-interest of defendants 1 to 7, took all these properties on lease from Maruthombilli Mana by executing the lease deed Ext. B dated 14.7.1102. Under Ext.
