Govt. Of A.P. And Ors. vs Kolla Raghavaiah And Anr.

The Supreme Court held that the Government of Andhra Pradesh was a necessary party to the writ petition as it provided grants to the Panchayat, which was involved in the case. The Court found that the High Court's refusal to grant leave for the Government to file a writ appeal was erroneous. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remanded the case for a decision on the appeal in accordance with law.
