The long journey of this litigation instituted in the year 1982 by the plaintiff as indigent is capsulised and narrated below :-

2. The suit properties belong to one Narayanasami Mudaliar. He died leaving his wife, son and two daughters. Kadirvelu Mudaliar, who is the son of Narayanasami Mudaliar later, died issueless leaving behind his wife Thailammal. On 9.12.1949, a partition was effected between Manikammal w/o deceased Narayanasami and her daughter-in-law Thailammal w/o Kadirvelu. As per the terms of the partition deed, marked as Ex A-1, the Plaint 'A' schedule properties were taken by Manikammal and 'B' schedule properties were taken by Thailammal and 'C' schedule properties were earmarked to a charity for conducting "Naalvar Poojai" at Kurnchipadikuppam Shri Kumbaeswarar Temple and the same was entrusted to one Adhanamozhi Mudaliar who was none other than the brother's son of Late. Naryananasami Mudaliar. Adhanamozhi Mudaliar was also, at that time, the Dharmakartha of 'Naalvar Thirunatchatra Annadhanam'. The partition deed reads that after the demise of Manickammal and Thailammal, 'A' and 'B' schedule properties shall go to Adhanamozhi Mudaliar. H
