In a recent court case, the decision favored Kurva Venkatesh, confirming that he owns a disputed piece of land. The case had been ongoing, with appeals and arguments about who really owns the land and whether an old will was valid.
The conflict started when the father of the people appealing, Kurva Ukkanna, filed a case in 2013. He claimed he owned a piece of land in Ieeja village, arguing that a will from 1968 was not valid. He wanted the court to declare him the rightful owner and stop Kurva Venkatesh from claiming it.
"The appellants wanted the court to declare the will dated 24.4.1968 as invalid."
The court looked at evidence from both sides. The people appealing, Kurva Venkatramulu, Kurva Veeranna, Kurva Girjaswamulu, Kurva Gopal, and Smt K Manikyamma, showed documents and gave statements, but the court found that Kurva Venkatesh had stronger evidence. He proved his right to the land through the will and other documents.
"The court found that the plaintiffs couldn't prove they had any right to the land."
A big part of the case was about whether the lawsuit was filed too late. The court used a rule that allows only three years to make such claims. Since the appellants filed the case long after this period, the court decided it was too late.
"The case was filed too late according to the rule that allows only three years for such claims."
The people appealing tried to challenge the decision, but the Principal District Judge agreed with the first decision in 2022. Finally, Justice E.V. Venugopal dismissed the second appeal, agreeing with the previous courts.
"The second appeal has no strong basis and is therefore dismissed."
The courts consistently found that Kurva Venkatesh had the rightful claim to the land, based on the will and possession records. The case shows how important it is to act quickly and have strong evidence when dealing with land disputes.
