He continued in possession pursuant to the said assignment. In 1994, A. V. Balakrishna Reddy wanted to alienate the property as ten years period had already expired from the date of assignment. Accordingly, he sold the property in favour of the first petitioner and also in favour of Sri C. Raja Reddy, V. Jagadish, Smt. G. Madhura Vani and also in favour of the second petitioner. Sale-deeds were presented to the sub-Registrar for the purpose of registration, but the Sub-Registrar refused to register the same on the ground that the said property was Government land and it cannot be alienated.

The registering authority raised similar objection and therefore, the petitioners issued a notice on 8-1-96 requesting the Sub-Registrar to furnish the market value enabling the petitioners to register the documents in favour of the third parties which was again refused. Thereafter, the petitioners filed W. P. No. 5311/96 on the file of this Court impleading the mandal Revenue Officer, Tirupati Urban Mandal. The said writ petition was allowed on 13-11-1996.
