A family property dispute has been stirring up quite the drama in court. Let's break down what happened in this case, overseen by Judge J. Sreenivas Rao.

The People Involved

The people who brought the case, Mallada Anga Chandra Kala and Anga Bhanoji Narsimha Rao, are facing off against their relatives, Anga Mallada Uttara Kumari, Anga Gowthami Latha, and Anga Natru Jyothi Padmini. The case is all about who gets what in the family property.

The Initial Conflict

Anga Mallada Uttara Kumari, Anga Gowthami Latha, and Anga Natru Jyothi Padmini wanted the property divided and managed separately. They also wanted someone to be appointed to manage the property. The court initially agreed with them, ordering the local official to take control of the property and stop any building work.

"The court directed the Tahsildar, Bhadrachalam, to take over the custody of the scheduled property and restrain further constructions."

Petitioners Fight Back

Mallada Anga Chandra Kala and Anga Bhanoji Narsimha Rao felt they were treated unfairly. They claimed they weren't given a chance to present their side before the order was made. They filed a request to cancel this one-sided order, but it was dismissed as being an attempt to delay the process.

Respondents’ Stand

Anga Mallada Uttara Kumari, Anga Gowthami Latha, and Anga Natru Jyothi Padmini argued that the petitioners were just trying to stall and had been making unauthorized constructions. They insisted on their rightful share of the property.

Court’s Decision

Judge J. Sreenivas Rao found that the initial order didn't have proper reasoning and didn't follow the required steps. He decided to cancel the previous orders and told the lower court to look at the situation again with input from both sides.

"The order passed by the Agent to Government is liable to be set aside. The learned Agent to Government is directed to pass orders afresh."

What's Next?

The court has asked everyone to keep things as they are on the property until a new decision is made. This means no new constructions or changes until the court takes another look.

This case shows how family disputes can get complicated in legal processes. It's a reminder of the importance of fair hearings and following legal steps to ensure justice is served.
