ORDER :
Heard Sri Chikkudu Prabhakar, learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 4, learned standing counsel appearing for temple. Perused the material available on record.
2. This writ petition is filed challenging the order in case No.FI/6183/2004 dated 22.09.2006 passed by respondent No.1 in confirming the orders in File No.L/708/1999 dated 27.10.2003 of respondent No.2 in the appeal filed under Section 24 of A.P.(T.A.) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955 (for short ‘Act 1955’) in respect of land in Sy.Nos.10 to 29, 31, 33, 230 to 238, 273 to 275 and 366 total admeasuring Ac.77-30 guntas situated at Malkapur village, Chevella Manda
The Inams Abolition Act grants occupancy rights solely to charitable institutions, establishing that properties classified as endowment lands do not vest individual ownership rights.
The court ruled that the land in Sy. No. 47 is private property of the applicants, not endowed to the temple, overturning the tribunal's decision.
The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to resolve title disputes over endowment properties, which must be adjudicated in civil courts.
