The failure to follow mandatory procedures in transferring land titles renders such transfers invalid, preserving the rights of the original pattadar.
The court ruled that reliance on unproven wills is insufficient for claiming property rights, reaffirming the necessity of proper probate procedures.
Court directs disposal of patta dispute petition after issuing fresh notices to all parties within 12 weeks.
The genuineness of documents submitted by the petitioners and the need for the 5th respondent to consider the observations made by the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Hyderabad.
Authority must avoid unjust cancellation of property rights without valid reasons, emphasizing the necessity for resolution of title disputes in civil courts as mandated by law.
