The suit property originally belonged to Surendra Village. Before 80 years, one Narayana Gounder was in possession of the suit property and after his death, his legal heirs Seena Gounder, Thoppala Gounder, Venkatachala Gounder partitioned the property orally and the suit property was allotted to the share of Seena Gounder. After his death, his son Kuppa Gounder was in possession and enjoyment of the suit property and after him, his legal heir the Plaintiff/1st Respondent is in possession of the same. The suit property is comprised in Old S.No.19/A (Paimash 609) measuring an extent of 100 cents and the suit property was reclassified as grama natham in RS.No.331/1. Since, the suit property is a grama natham, there was no tax assessment after its reclassification as Natham. and the predecessors of the Plaintiff were in possession and enjoyment of suit property by way of Kaichathu. In the said oral partition, sons of the Narayana Gounder took 33 cents each and thus Seena Gounder took 33 cents and his legal heirs Subbarayan, Kuppa Gounder, Mottaya Gounder orally partitioned the said suit property and took 11 cents each a
