B.CHANDRA KUMAR
Indukuru Ramachandrareddy – Appellant
Versus
Agnigundala Venkata Ranga Rao – Respondent
1. This appeal is directed against the judgment and decree dated 22.09.2003 passed in O.S.No.98 of 1998 by the Additional Senior Civil Judge, Narsaraopet, whereby and whereunder, the suit filed by the plaintiff was decreed.
2. The appellants herein are the defendants and the respondent herein is the plaintiff in the suit and the parties will be hereinafter referred to as they are arrayed before the Court below for the sake of convenience.
3. In Ritesh Tewari Vs. State of U.P. ((2010) 10 SCC 677), the Apex Court observed as follows:-
“Every trial is voyage of discovery in which truth is the quest.”
4. When the people have no regard for truth, it becomes a difficult job to the Court to know the true version. However, the Courts have to examine the entire evidence with analytical approach and conclusions have to be drawn on proper appreciation of evidence and on the basis of settled legal principle. A study of chronological events rationally reveals probabilities of the case of each party.
5. The brief facts of the case are as follows:-
The plaintiff, who was having approximately 60 acres of land, filed a declaration before the Land Reforms Tribunal on 11.04.1975 and had shown
