BUDDU SATYANARAYANA AND OTHERS vs KONDURU VENKATAPAYYA AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court held that in cases of inam grants, a presumption of lawful title cannot be made when there is clear evidence regarding the nature of the grant. Specifically, the Court found that the inam grant was made in favor of the temple and not merely for melvaram rights. The Court ruled that moral claims of archakas are irrelevant in ejectment suits where they deny the temple's title. Consequently, the appeal for recovery of possession by the temple was upheld, affirming the lower court's decision.
