Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of civil courts in partition suits involving lands under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955. The Court held that the Act, particularly Sections 8, 10, 24, and 29, constitutes a complete code, thereby precluding civil courts from adjudicating on partition matters concerning lands where occupancy rights have been granted. The judgment upheld the lower courts' decisions, affirming that the civil court lacks jurisdiction in such cases.
