Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Special Court under the A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982, affirming that the appellant was a land grabber of government land and ordered restoration of possession to the State of Andhra Pradesh. The Court emphasized that the appellant's claim to the land was based on an unregistered agreement and a registered lease deed, which did not confer valid title against the government's claim. The Court ruled that the eviction notice and subsequent orders were valid, thus dismissing the appeal.
