In PUSHPAGIRI MATH V/s. KOPPARAJU VEERABHADRA RAO1, the Supreme Court was dealing with a case arising under the Andhra Pradesh Inams Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari Act, 1956. It was held that by statutory operation of the provisions of the said Act, the pre-existing right or interest held by the inamdar stood extinguished and the conferment of ryotwari patta under Section 7 read with Section 3 became conclusive between the parties and therefore, the jurisdiction of (1996) 9 SCC 202 the civil Court to declare the title to inam land stood excluded by necessary implication. The scheme of the Andhra Pradesh Inams Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari Act, 1956, being essentially different from that of the Act of 1955, in relation to recognition of occupancy rights, the ratio laid down in this judgment cannot be extended to the cases on hand ipso facto. Further, in the case before the Supreme Court, there were no multiple prayers unrelated to the Act which excluded the jurisdiction of the civil Court. This judgment is therefore of no avail.
