KALIPINDI APPALA NARASAMMA vs ALLA NAGESHWARA RAO (D) TH.LRS. .

The Supreme Court held that the jurisdiction of civil courts is not barred under the Andhra Pradesh (Area) Tenancy Act, 1956, particularly regarding claims for declaration of title and recovery of possession. The Court emphasized that the Special Tribunal lacks the authority to adjudicate title disputes, thus affirming the Trial Court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs for possession and past mesne profits. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision to set aside the decree was overturned, reinstating the Trial Court's ruling.
