It is the case of the petitioners that originally the land to an extent of Acs.7.28 cents in Sy.No.174-2 in Mandalapalli Village, Gorantla Mandal, Anantapur District was assigned in favour of one Mala Subbanna S/o.

Gorantla Mandal, Anantapur District, who is no other than the father of the 4th respondent herein vide proceedings D.A.R Dis.No.351/1959, dated 23.10.1951. Thereafter the original assignee's son i.e., the 4th respondent herein and Grandson i.e., 5th respondent herein in turn sold an extent of Acs.4.42 cents out of Acs.7.28 cents in Sy.No.174-2 in favour of the petitioners herein through three registered sale deeds dated 03.11.1982, 21.02.1983 and 15.04.1985.

That the petitioners have obtained crop loan from the co-operative society Gorantala, Anantapur District and that they have also paid cist to the Government. While so, when the 5th respondent, who is grandson of Mala Subbanna and son of Mala Ramappa, without having any manner of right, tried to interfere with the possession of the petitioners over the subject land, petitioners filed Suit O.S.No.195 of 2008 on the file of Junior Civil Judge, Penukonda, Anantapur District. During the pendency of above suit, the 5th respondent filed a petition before the 3rd respondent requesting to cancel the sale deeds dated 03.11.1982, 21.02.1983 and 15.04.1985. Basing on the same, the 3rd respondent issued show-cause notice dated 15.09.2008 and the petitioners filed objections on 22.09.2008 to the same. Without considering the said objections, the 3rd respondent Tahsildar passed order in Rc.No.266/08 (A), dated 20.12.2008 restoring the land in question to the 4th respondent's favour, who is the father of the 5th respondent and also directed the M.R.I Gorantla to take action to evict the petitioners and to take possession and to restore the land in favour of the respondents 4 and 5.

Subsequently, the petitioners filed appeal before the 1st respondent, who passed orders dated 20.09.2012 confirming the orders of the 2nd respondent. Aggrieved by the same, present writ petition is filed.
