Atluri Brahmanandam (D) Thr.Lrs vs Anne Sai Bapuji

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appeal in Appeal Suit No. 2185 of 1989, affirming the trial court's decree for possession and mesne profits in favor of the respondent. The Court found that the respondent, as the adopted son of Late Anne Seetharamaiah, was entitled to recover possession of the property, rejecting the appellant's claims regarding the validity of the adoption and the auction sale. The judgment emphasized that without challenging the auction sale, the appellant could not assert ownership over the property, thus reinforcing the legal principle that an unchallenged auction sale stands valid under law.
