Apex Court rejects Parvati's plea on TDP property

By J. Venkatesan

NEW DELHI, FEB. 28. The Supreme Court today dismissed a special leave petition filed by Lakshmi Parvati, wife of the late N.T. Rama Rao, challenging a judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court rejecting a petition by the NTR-Telugu Desam Party against an order of a Civil Court relating to the property dispute with the TDP led by N. Chandrababu Naidu.

A Bench, comprising Justice N. Santosh Hegde and Justice S.B. Sinha, rejected the SLP observing that it could not be entertained since it was against an interlocutory order.

On a suit filed by the TDP led by Mr. Chandrababu Naidu regarding the rights over certain properties, the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy district, had decreed in its favour. However, the High Court allowed an appeal from the NTR-TDP and remitted the matter back to the civil judge for fresh disposal.

This was transferred to the Principal Senior Civil Judge, L.B. Nagar, who decreed the suit holding that a majority of people and constitutional forums had recognised Mr. Naidu's as the real TDP and declared that the suit properties were the exclusive properties of Mr.Naidu's TDP, which was entitled for the possession.

Right over properties

On appeal again from the NTR- TDP challenging the orders of the Senior Civil Judge, the High Court also held that the TDP led by Mr. Naidu had rights over the said properties. The SLP is directed against this order dated February 25, 2004.

In her SLP, Ms. Parvati contended that the High Court failed to consider that substantial loss and injury would cause to her if the stay was not granted, particularly when she was in possession of the suit property and continuing to run her party office and affairs as successor of N.T. Rama Rao. She said her late husband acquired these properties and she was in exclusive possession as his successor and sought stay of the impugned judgment and to restrain the TDP from dispossessing her of the property.
