Agnigundala Venkata Ranga Rao vs Indukuru Ramchandra Reddy(Dead) By ...

The Supreme Court held that the sale of agricultural land by the appellant to the respondents was void under Section 7(2) and Section 17 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973, as it occurred after the Act's enforcement. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's order which directed the appellant to surrender excess land, emphasizing that the appellant's claim to ownership was undermined by the Tribunal's earlier ruling. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's reversal of the lower court's decree.
