M/S Kaushik Coop.Building Society vs N.Parvathamma & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ petitions challenging the jurisdiction of the Special Court under the A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982, affirming that the question of res-judicata or constructive res-judicata is a mixed question of law and fact. The Court reiterated that the Special Court did not err in taking cognizance of the land grabbing case, as previous cases had been dismissed, establishing that the legal representatives of the deceased had no valid claim over the land in question. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the High Court's ruling.
