Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, affirming the District Collector's refusal to grant ryotwari patta to the appellants based on findings that the pattas were fabricated. The Court emphasized that under Section 2-A of the Inams Abolition Act, the land classified as 'Peddacheruvu Tank' cannot be alienated or assigned. The Court held that the appellants' claims were invalid due to the statutory restrictions on the land's transferability, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.
