P. SATYANARAYANA versus NANDYALA RAMA KRISHNA REDDY

The Supreme Court dismissed the SLP, holding that the High Court correctly granted interim injunction: the predecessor of the respondent had an ownership certificate under Section 38-E (1975) vesting title; Form 1-B and subsequent Pahanis showed prima facie possession of the respondent; the prior suit dismissal of an interim application without findings on possession was inconsequential; on these bases the High Court's reversal of the trial court and grant of interim protection did not warrant interference under Article 136.
