Proceedings against a deceased individual without legal representation of heirs violate principles of natural justice, rendering such orders invalid.
Revenue authorities may not adjudicate on civil title disputes under A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act; parties should approach civil court for resolution.
The court reaffirmed that judicial authorities must adhere to principles of natural justice, ensuring all parties are heard before any adverse decisions are made.
