SAFIYA BEE vs MOHD. VAJAHATH HUSSAIN @ FASI

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the possession of property under the Andhra Pradesh Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982. The Court held that the Special Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the case as the appellant had established ownership through a registered Sale Deed dated 5th February, 1969, and the respondent was found to be a land grabber. The Court overturned the Special Court's decision that deemed the application not maintainable, reaffirming the Special Tribunal's order for eviction of the respondent from the disputed property.
