5. The case of the writ petitions, in brief, is that originally the subject lands are the registered patta lands of Gandaiah, Veeraiah, Lingaiah and Pentaiah. During the life time of Gandaiah and Pentaiah, they along with the Chowdaiah S/o.late Veeraiah and Smt.Venkatamma W/o.late Veeraiah and Narsimha S/o.Lingaiah have executed registered sale deeds bearing document Nos.3659/1987 and 3658/1987 dated 08.05.1987 in favour of the vendors of the petitioners herein and possession was also delivered to them. Subsequently, the petitioners have purchased the subject lands under registered sale deeds bearing document Nos.10957/1989 dated 14.09.1989 and 11019/1989 dated 16.09.1989 and their names were also incorporated in the revenue records vide proceedings of the Mandal Revenue Officer dated 06.12.1991, and since the date of purchase, the petitioners are in possession and enjoyment of the subject lands. In the year 2000, petitioners got surveyed the schedule lands through Deputy Inspector of Survey & Land Records, who fixed the peg stores by demarcating the boundaries with meters and bounds under the cover of panchanama. Thereafter, petitioners have constructed a compound wall around the subject lands and a labour room therein after obtaining necessary approval from the Gram Panchayat. The petitioners entered into a development agreement-cum-irrevocable GPA vide registered document No.15448/2005 dated 14.10.2005 for developing the property. While things stood thus, the petitioners came to know that the subject lands were shown as Mafi Inam in the khasra pahani for the year 1954-55, which attract the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955 (‘the Act’, for short). When the petitioners have questioned the unofficial respondents for not informing the nature of land, at the time of purchase, they have given statements before the RDO on 21.11.2006 expressing no-objection for issuance of ORC and pattadar passbooks in favour of the petitioners herein. In spite of saying so, the unofficial respondents have submitted a separate application in Form No.1 before the Deputy Coll
