The case was about a land dispute between K Chandra Reddy and Mutyam Reddy, two sons of Veera Reddy who belonged to Secunderabad, over a 4-acre land that belonged to their mother Salamma, where the dispute knocked on the court door after her death.
When Chandra Reddy approached the civil court by claiming that the entire property belonged to him, the court dismisses the will-deed said to be written by their name and delivered the judgement by saying that the property equally belonged to both the siblings.
Chandra Reddy and his heirs challenged the lower court’s judgement and then approached the high court.
After hearing both sides, the high court bench of Justice P Naveen Rao and Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka delivered the judgement in Telugu by expressing doubts about the will-deed and said that the lower court has clarified the reasons for rejecting the will-deed.
The bench has dismissed the appeal filed by Chandra Reddy.
