1. This revision under S.103 of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, Act 1 of 1964 as amended by Act XXXV of 1969 (for short 'the Act') is directed against the judgment of the Appellate Authority (Land Reforms) Trichur, dated 10th January 1977 and made in A. A. No. 639 of 1975, reversing the order of the Land Tribunal, Kozhikode, dated 20th November 1973 and made in O.A. No. 739 of 1970, which was an application filed by the revision petitioner under S.16 of the Act for resumption of an extent of 4.80 acres of land, it being item No. 3 in the schedule to Ext. A1 lease deed, dated 6th July 1871. The Land Tribunal allowed the application; but, as already noticed, in reversal of that order the Appellate Authority dismissed the application. It is aggrieved by the decision of the Appellate Authority that the present revision has been filed by the land owner. What weighed with the Appellate Authority to come to the conclusion that the land owner was not entitled to resume the land from the cultivating tenant was its finding that in terms of the lease deed (Ext. A1) the land owner was not entitled to resume the land, it being a lease in perpetuity.
