Uncle Ramiah and Krishnaiah inherited some land in karakambadi village from their aunt chengamma.The tenants refused to vacate land and got a stay from court to continue them as tenants.Under the law tenants are to continue,though owners are changed.Uncle Ramiah has gone to a busy lawyer Raghu in Tirupati to get stay vacated and remove tenants.
The case dragged on and on and Raghu when ever he saw Ramiah used to say "dont worry ramanna, i will do the need ful".Uncle got disgusted and came to kavali to talk with SRM.(they used to be called krishnarjunulu by SVSR.).SRM.promised to talk to Raghu and see that the case is pursued vigorously.
After uncle has gone back to Tirupati ,SRM spent some time in his law library, made some notes and wrote a post card to uncle .He asked uncle to show it to Raghu and instruct him to proceed as in the card.Raghu did so in next hearing . The arguments were brief ,lasted only for 5 minutes.Immediately Stay was vacated by the judge and tenants were asked to vacate land permanently.
What does the post card contain that made Raghu and judge to act so fast?
transfer of ownership by a registered document is done in 3 ways.
1st way is by sale deed with some 10%of value of the property as tax.
2nd way is through settlement between close relatives with 4% tax.
3rd way is through gift deed with donor paying the gift tax.
The act protecting tenants speaks only of sale deed where as the transfer here is through settlement.
It was an inadvertent mistake committed by law makers and noticed only by SRM

Where did all those brains go in my generation? (no offense to the undoubtedly smart Singampalli kids). Perhaps the next gen has got it? Is Sunny showing signs of super-brilliance?
