Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed whether the High Court could set aside a finding of fact made by the Special Court under the Andhra Pradesh Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982. The Court held that the High Court, in exercising its jurisdiction under Article 226, cannot overturn a factual finding that is not perverse or arbitrary. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the Special Court's decision that the respondents were land grabbers and affirming the financial penalties imposed on them.
