5. For better appreciation and understanding of the case on hand, the facts in W.P.No.23477 of 2010 are narrated before narrating the facts in W.P. No.11293 of 2009.

6. Facts leading to filing of W.P.No.23477 of 2010, in a nutshell, are that ECE Industries Ltd. (in short ‘ECE Industries’) is involved in the business of manufacture and selling of power transformers and other electrical equipment. For the purpose of establishing its manufacturing unit, ECE Industries had purchased land admeasuring 57026 sq. mtrs. in survey Nos.78 and 79 and 106511 sq. mtrs. in survey Nos.74, 75 and 76 i.e. total admeasuring 163679 sq. mtrs situated at Fathenagar Village, Balanagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, through registered sale deeds in the year 1965 and since then ECE Industries has been in physical possession and enjoyment of the said property and ECE Industries had also established a manufacturing unit in the said property. After enactment of The Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (in short ‘ULC Act’), the ECE Industries had filed a statement in Form I under Section 6 of the ULC Act and the declaration of the ECE Industries was taken up as CC No.10571/76 by the ULC authorities. Insofar as the land in survey Nos.78 and 79 is concerned, the Government had issued G.O.Ms.No.1729 dated 27.11.1982 exempting the entire extent of land in survey Nos.78 and 79 on the ground that ECE Industries had already constructed a factory in the said land.

For the remaining extent of 56730 sq. mtrs of land also exemption has been granted to ECE Industries in view of the scheme formulated under Section 21 of the Act for construction of houses for weaker sections of the society in the said land. Despite, ECE Industries having constructed a factory building for manufacturing electrical transformers in land admeasuring about 1229 sq. mtrs., Government has issued G.O.Ms.No.303 withdrawing the exemption granted to ECE Industries under G.O.Ms.No.1729, dated 27.11.1982, in respect of 48859 sq. mtrs. Thereafter, the ULC authorities have conducted an enquiry and after re-computing it was finally held that ECE Industries was having surp
