Section 83 Endowments Act | Mandatory Pre-Auction Notice to Landowners Required Even in Disputed Ownership Cases : AP HC

Andhra Pradesh High Court reinforces that the Endowments Department must strictly comply with Section 83 of the Endowments Act, 1987, by issuing prior notice to landowners before auctioning land-regardless of ownership disputes. The ruling protects landowners from arbitrary dispossession and ensures procedural fairness in religious endowment land auctions.
