INTRODUCTION

1. These two appeals arise out of the same Judgment of the trial Court. A.S.No.150 of 1991 is filed by defendant No.10 and the other transferred appeal is filed by defendants 12 and 13, the legal representatives of defendant No.8, who died during pendency of suit. The appeal filed before the Court of the District Judge, Kadapa stands transferred to this Court. The dispute in these cases is in respect of land admeasuring 0.67 cents in survey No.455 (suit schedule property) in Proddatur town. The persons who were allegedly members of Sundaracharlu Club (the club, for brevity) on the one hand and the first and second generation legal heirs of late Curram Sundaracharlu (CSC) are fighting this three decades long drawn Court battle for the property. In this Judgment, the parties are referred to as they are arrayed in the suit.
