Sections 6 and 7 cannot be used to determine title unilaterally where an occupant raises a bona fide, complicated dispute concerning acquisition, title, limitation or long-standing possession. Length of possession alone is not decisive, but open possession for an appreciable period may prima facie establish a genuine claim. Such title disputes require adjudication in a properly constituted civil suit before eviction. en-us Tue, 16 Mar 1982 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:30:56 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471338 Summary eviction under the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 applies only where occupation is unauthorised and Government title is clear, including land statutorily deemed to belong to the Government.
