JUDGMENT :
(T. Vinod Kumar, J.)
Since, both these Appeals arise out of the very same order, they are being disposed of by this common judgment.
2. Both these appeals are directed against the order, dt.08.10.2012 in LGOP.No.623 of 2001 on the file of the Special Tribunal-cum-I Additional District Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar (for short ‘the Tribunal’).
3. The appellant in LGA.No.27 of 2017 is the 6th respondent in LGOP.No.27/2017, and the appellant in LGA.No.33 of 2017 is third party to the aforesaid LGOP, who after obtaining leave from this Court vide order dt.24.11.2016 in WP.No.25147 of 2016, had filed the said appeal.
Brief facts of the case:
4. The 1st respondent in both the appeals is the petitioner before the Tribunal, who had filed the above LGOP claiming that she
Successors in interest inherit legal liabilities of their vendors, and the Andhra Pradesh Land Grabbing Act applies to properties with buildings.
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 affirmed that possession without legal title constitutes land grabbing, rejecting the petitioners' claim of adverse possession due to lack of evidence.
The burden of proof lies on the claimant to establish lawful entitlement to land in land grabbing cases, and mere allegations are insufficient for relief.
