the first occasion was on June 15 and 16, 2000 wherein defendants together

with the some men entered the area and harvested those ripe coconuts

gathered/filed by complainants since February 1999 with an estimated

number of 15, 000 nuts; and the other one is on July 7, 2000 when

defendants hired harvesters to harvest the matured nuts of the land with an

estimated number of 15, 0000 to 20, 000 nuts , without giving the share of

the herein complainants. Please see attached machine copy of the police

blotters marked as Annex “ A” and “B” respectively, to form part of this

motion;
 3. That complaints owing to the stoppage of their agricultural

activities in the area which is attributed much to defendants unlawful acts

payment of said amount lies in/ or depend upon if complainants will be

allowed by the Board to harvest the matured coconuts comes December

2000. See attached machine copy of the letter marked as Annexes “ C “ and

“ D “ respectively, of this motion.

4. Complainants prays for the kind benevolent heart of the

Honorable Adjudicator that they be allowed to harvest the matured nuts

this coming December 2000 to be able to cope up their indebtedness and

to have their Christmas meaningful. They are praying such gift from the

Honorable Board;

5. That under the DARAB NEW RULES OF PROCEDURE

specifically section 2 of Rule X so declares;

“ Section 2. No injunction to Restrain Tilling or Harvesting. In

Cases where the tenurial or its adjudicator shall not issue any
order land , or preventing or impawning the harvest without
providing him at least fifty percent ( 5 / ) of the net harvest.

In Cases where one or more persons claim right adverse

to the actual tiller on the landholding in question, any order
for supervision of the harvest shall provide at least twenty five
percent ( 25 / ) of the net harvest for the actual tillers.

The aforeguoted decision abundantly manifest that

complainants being actual tillers of the land should not be
prevented of their Agricultural activities particularly in
harvesting the mature nuts and should their be any harvest
made in the area, tenant should not be deprived at least 50 / of
the net harvest.
 6. Complainants was able to prove up to the final stretch of the case

that they are de jure tenants of the defendants and have stayed and

developed the land for more than forty ( 40 ) solid years thus, public policy

dictates that complainants should not be prevented in their agricultural

activities in the area especially in harvesting the matured coconuts now that

they were adjudged de jure tenants by the Honorable Board.

WHERFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed

before this Honorable Board to allow the complainants to harvest the

matured nuts and appropriate the proceeds among themselves. However, in

the alternative let 50/ of the harvest be deposited with the DAR Cashier and

the other 50/ will be equally divided by the Complainants and defendants

until the case is finally resolved. Such other relief and remedies that are just

and appropriate under premises.
