Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court cannot set aside a finding of fact made by the Special Court under the Andhra Pradesh Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982 unless such finding is perverse or arbitrary. The Court emphasized that the Special Court's determination regarding the respondents being land grabbers and the failure to prove adverse possession was based on evidence. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, reinstating the Special Court's order and affirming the findings made therein.
