GUDDETI DIVYA SREE Counsel for the Respondent: 1. VAJJA CHETHAN KUMAR REDDY The Court made the following: COMMON JUDGMENT: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ravi Nath Tilhari) Heard Sri T.V.K.Murthy, learned counsel for the appellants in L.G.A.No.22 of 2016, Sri S.S.Prasad, learned Senior Advocate, assisted by Sri S.N.Chidambara Sastry, learned counsel for the appellants in L.G.A.No.2 of 2025 through virtual mode, and Ms.R.Aparna, learned counsel for the appellant and Sri Vajja Chetan Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the respondent in L.G.A.No.3 of 2025. 12 2. These Land Grabbing Appeals have been filed before this Court referring to Section 7A(3) of the A.P.Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982 (in short ‘the Act, 1982), challenging the orders of the Special Tribunal, passed under the said Act. 3. Objection has been raised with respect to the maintainability on the ground that this Court is not the appellate Court under the said Act, 1982, and therefore, the appeals are not maintainable. 4. The same question arose in the L.G.A.Nos.20 of 2016 and Batch. The same Bench, by judgment dated 28.08.2025, dismissed the appeals as not maintainable with certain directions. The same is reproduced as under: “V. Result: 90. In the result, it is held that all the aforesaid Appeals are not maintainable in this Court. The right of appeal of the appellants against the orders of the Special Tribunal under the Act 1982, against which the appeals have been filed before this Court directly or the appeals filed before the then Special Court and transferred to this Court to decide as Appellate Court under the Act 1982 are not maintainable. The aforesaid Appeals are therefore dismissed as not maintainable. 91. As the Appeals were pending since long and we find those not to be maintainable, while dismissing the appeals as not maintainable, to secure the interest of the parties, we provide that in case the appellants seek to prefer writ petitions, they can do so, within a reasonable period, say a period of 3 (three) months from the date of this judgment. For a period of 3 (three) months, the interim orders, if 13 granted earlier in the Appeal(s), in those appeals such interim order shall continue to operate. 92. We make it clear that we have considered and decided only the maintainability of the appeals and not considered the merits of the impugned orders either way. 93. No order as to costs.” 8. Consequently, the present appeals are not maintainable. The same are dismissed on the said ground alone, granting liberty to the appellants, if so advised to avail such other remedy as is open to them in terms of the judgment dated 28.08.2025. 9. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall also stand closed. ____________________ RAVI NATH TILHARI, J ______________________________ MAHESWARA RAO KUNCHEAM, J Date: 10.09.2025 Pab 14 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAVI NATH TILHARI THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE MAHESWARA RAO KUNCHEAM LAND GRAB APPEAL Nos.22 of 2016, 2 and 3 of 2025 Date:- 10.09.2025 Pab 15
