Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled 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 upheld the Tribunal's order which declared the appellant's land transfer invalid due to excess holdings beyond the prescribed limits. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's reversal of the lower court's decree favoring the appellant.
