Edukanti Kistamma (Dead) Thr.Lrs.& Ors vs S. Venkatareddy (Dead) Thr.Lrs.& Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 protects the rights of tenants, and the High Court erred in setting aside the findings of the Revenue Divisional Officer and the Land Reforms Tribunal regarding the appellants' status as protected tenants. The Court emphasized that the concurrent findings of fact should not be disturbed unless there is a substantial error. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the status of the appellants as protected tenants under the Act.
