In Brief
A protected tenant inherited agricultural land valued for its cultivation purpose under Andhra Pradesh tenancy law. Instead of farming it, the tenant transferred the land to others who constructed buildings on it, violating the terms of the grant. When served a show cause notice, the tenant failed to respond. The Mandal Revenue Officer cancelled the tenancy rights, a decision upheld by the Joint Collector (in appeal) and the High Court (in revision). The Supreme Court dismissed the tenant's appeal, holding that the cancellation was justified as a clear violation of the law, with concurrent findings by three courts supporting the outcome.
