BADDULA LAKSHMAIAH & OTHERS vs SRI ANJANEYA SWAMI TEMPLE & OTHERS

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Letters Patent Bench of the High Court, which determined that a grant of 29 acres of agricultural land was intended for the temple and not personally for the Archaka. The Court clarified that the High Court's exercise of reconciling two documents was within its jurisdiction as it involved a mixed question of law and fact. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the alienations made by the Archaka were not valid as the grant was not personal to him.
