Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the long-standing land dispute between the State of Andhra Pradesh and Smt. Prameela Modi concerning 3 acres and 27 guntas of land classified as poramboke sarkari Government land. The Court upheld the findings of the lower authorities that the land in question was rightfully assigned to Smt. Prameela Modi, affirming the validity of the supplementary sethwar issued in 1947 and the subsequent entries in the revenue records. The Court emphasized the importance of historical records and the need for clarity in land ownership, ultimately ruling in favor of Smt. Prameela Modi.
