The court found that the Land Disputes Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to entertain and determine the respondents' claims, as the dispute concerned ownership and title to registered land and involved the estate of a deceased person. The Tribunal's statutory mandate under the Land Disputes Tribunals Act was limited to disputes over boundaries, occupation, or trespass, and did not extend to ownership or succession matters. The suit property was registered in the name of the appellant's deceased husband, and no grant of letters of administration had been obtained. The Tribunal's decisions, therefore, amounted to unlawful intermeddling with the estate and were null and void for want of jurisdiction. Consequently, the Tribunal's proceedings and awards were set aside, and the appeal was allowed.
