Ramisetty Naraiah vs Poluri Venkata Subbamma & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the provisions of Section 15 of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Tenancy Act, 1956, which prohibits the transfer of tenancy rights without the consent of the tenant. The Court ruled that the sale deeds executed by the third respondent in favor of the first and second respondents were void as they contravened this statutory provision. Consequently, the Court affirmed the appellant's right to seek a declaration for the first purchase of the lands and the invalidity of the sale deeds, thereby allowing the appeal against the High Court's order.
