3. The 1st respondent is said to be the owner and possessor of land admeasuring Ac.0.31 cents in Sy.No.279/1, Ac.0.12 cents in Sy.No.288/1, Ac.0.17 cents in Sy.No.292/1, Ac.0.26 cents in Sy.No.296/1, Ac.0.27 cents in Sy.No.304/1, Ac.0.12 cents in Sy.No.305/1, Ac.0.10 cents in Sy.No.306/1, Ac.0.02 cents in Sy.No.307/4, and Ac.0.17 cents in Sy.No.309/1, aggregating to Acs.1.54 cents.

The court held that petitioners failed to establish their entitlement to Ryotwari Patta and did not challenge the grant to Inamdars within the statutory period, leading to dismissal of their petition....
Rights to land under the Andhra Pradesh Estates Abolition Act require proof of continuous possession and corresponding applications for Ryotwari pattas pre-dating the act's enactment.
