Judgment:
VENUTHURUMALLI GOPALA KRISHNA RAO, J.
This second appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure (“C.P.C.” for short) is filed aggrieved against the Judgment and decree, dated 30.08.2024 in A.S.No.1 of 2024, on the file of the Principal District Judge, Visakhapatnam (“First Appellate Court” for short), confirming the Judgment and decree, dated 24.08.2023 in O.S.No.135 of 2020, on the file of VI Additional Senior Civil Judge, Visakhapatnam (“Trial Court” for short).

A second appeal under Section 100 of the C.P.C. requires the demonstration of substantial questions of law; mere disagreement does not suffice.
The court affirmed that a lease is terminated by efflux of time and issuance of quit notices, leading to unauthorized possession by the tenant, with no substantial question of law for appeal.
A second appeal under Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code requires the identification of substantial questions of law, which was not demonstrated in this case.
A second appeal under Section 100 of CPC is not maintainable unless substantial questions of law arise, which was not the case here.
The High Court, in a second appeal under Section 100, cannot re-evaluate evidence, focusing only on substantial legal questions and confirming lower court findings unless proven erroneous.
GPA and similar documents do not confer title to immovable property; legal heirs of the original allottee are entitled to possession.
A tenant's long-term non-payment of rent negates claims for automatic lease renewal, emphasizing the necessity of fair conduct in exercising statutory rights.
A tenant cannot acquire title against the true owner, and the rights of subsequent purchasers are protected under law, emphasizing the obligation to vacate upon lease termination.
Tenancy rights cannot be terminated without due process under the Transfer of Property Act, and eviction must follow legal requirements.
