Kunja Kannappa and 26 others v. The State of Telangana and 11 others
Case brief
What is this about?
Petitioners, claiming tribal possession of patta lands, challenged issuance of 1-B (ROR) to non-tribal respondents. The Court held petitioners are encroachers lacking title and thus generally lack locus standi in mutation matters. However, acknowledging prima facie possession over specific admeasuring land, the Court made an interim order absolute to protect possession.
What did the court decide?
Interim order dated 24.06.2020 made absolute; respondents directed not to interfere with petitioners' possession; other reliefs rejected.
