Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Special Court under the A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982, which declared the appellants as land grabbers and ordered their eviction from 12.5 guntas of land. The Court found that the appellants failed to substantiate their claims against the findings of the Special Court, which had properly assessed the evidence presented. The High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions challenging the Special Court's order was affirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that the burden of proof lies on the party claiming ownership through adverse possession.
