RAM GOPAL REDDY vs ADDITIONAL CUSTODIAN EVACUEE PROPERTY,HYDERABAD

The Supreme Court held that under Section 46 of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, civil courts lack jurisdiction to adjudicate on whether property is evacuee property. The appellant's claim to ownership was barred as he failed to appear before the authorities after being notified, and the absence of a registered sale deed meant title could not pass. The Court emphasized that any claims must be pursued through the mechanisms provided in the Act, thus dismissing the appeal.
