THIRUMALA TIRUPATI DEVASTHANAMS vs THALLAPPAKA ANANTHACHARYULU

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over 28.58 acres of land on Tirumala Hills, originally granted to Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya by Emperor Sri Krishna Devaraya. The Court examined the application filed by the T.T.D. under the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1951, seeking resumption of the inam due to non-fulfillment of conditions. The Court upheld the decision of the Revenue Divisional Officer and the Commissioner, emphasizing the procedural requirements under the Andhra Pradesh Inams Abolition Act, 1956, and clarified the rights of the T.T.D. regarding the land in question.
