Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding the application under Section 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982, affirming that the Special Court correctly identified the government as the owner of the disputed land and ordered eviction of the appellants as land grabbers. The Court noted that the appellants had opportunities to challenge the Special Court's order under Section 17-A of the Act or file a suit for declaration of title, thus finding no jurisdictional error or violation of natural justice principles. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's ruling.
