The court affirmed that possession without legal title constitutes land grabbing, rejecting the petitioners' claim of adverse possession due to lack of evidence.
The court affirmed that continuous possession for over 30 years can establish title by adverse possession, and mere allegations of land grabbing require substantial proof of unlawful occupation.
Possession without legal title constitutes land grabbing; the court affirmed the applicants' valid ownership based on registered sale deeds, invalidating the respondents' claims.
The definition of 'land' under the A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act includes buildings, allowing jurisdiction over claims involving both land and structures.
The court upheld the Special Court's order declaring the petitioner a land grabber, affirming that ownership cannot be claimed through unregistered agreements of sale without valid title.
Failure to consider a report from authorities does not invalidate a court's ruling if the decision is supported by substantial evidence presented during proceedings.
