Judgment

M.Y. Eqbal, J.

This appeal being C.A.No.2963 of 2013 arises out of the judgment and order dated 19.12.2011 passed by the 3rd Judge of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh to whom the matter was referred to by the Chief Justice for final decision against the conflicting judgments passed by the two judges of the said High Court. The appeal was preferred by the plaintiff-respondent before the High Court which was heard by a Division Bench. The two judges of the Division Bench delivered two conflicting judgments, one by allowing the appeal and setting aside the judgment of the trial court and the other by dismissing the appeal and affirming the judgment of the trial court. The 3rd Judge to whom the matter was referred, passed the impugned judgment upholding the judgment of one of the learned judges and allowing the appeal and decreeing the suit of the plaintiff-respondent. Another appeal being C.A.No.2964 of 2013 has been filed by the transferee of the suit property during the pendency of the appeal in the High Court. Since leave was granted, both the appeals have been heard and disposed of by this judgment.
