Nelapatla Ramaiah & Ors vs Kamatam Bikshamaiah & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision, which reversed the First Appellate Court's decree, stating that the transactions involving the sale of land were invalid under Sections 47 and 50B of the Hyderabad Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950. The Court established that the plaintiffs retained possession of the land through the defendants, who had no legal right to the property. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the defendants' possession was merely permissive.
