Judgment text excerpt
The High Court of Judicature of Andhra Pradesh held that the appellants were entitled to vacant possession of the premises after the Gram Panchayat vacated the property they had previously occupied. The court noted that the only dispute was regarding the court fee paid for 110 sq.yards, while the appellants asserted ownership over a larger area. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the impugned judgment, with no further directions necessary as the respondents had abandoned the premises, and the parties were directed to bear their own costs.
