Kurella Naga Druva Vydaya Bhaskara Rao vs Galla Jani Kamma Alias Nacharamma

The Supreme Court held that under the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Areas) Tenancy Act, 1956, a civil court lacks jurisdiction to entertain a suit for possession when the relationship between the parties is that of landlord and tenant. The Court affirmed that the plaintiff's claim for possession was valid as the defendant's assertion of ownership through adverse possession was not substantiated. The Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, granting her possession of the suit property and mesne profits, thereby upholding the trial court's decree.
