JUDGMENT :
B.V.L.N.CHAKRAVARTHI
This Second Appeal, under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, is filed by the unsuccessful appellant/defendant assailing the decree and judgment, dated 21.02.2000, of the learned Subordinate Judge, Tanuku, West Godavari District, passed in A.S.No.39 of 1991.

4. The appeal is coming up for consideration/judgment on the following limited aspects: – ‘Whether the questions, which are raised in the memorandum of grounds of appeal or any other substantial questions of law are involved? and, if so, whether the second appeal deserves to be allowed?’
5. The appellant is the defendant. The respondents 1 to 6 are the plaintiffs.

The court affirmed the Plaintiffs' easementary rights based on historical use and legal documentation, emphasizing the significance of such rights in property law.
