But, the 7th respondent, as per RSR, classified the above land as dotted land shown in prohibitory property list. Then the petitioner approached 7th respondent through Mee-seva application No.APDL011700039211 requesting to delete the above lands from the prohibitory property list. Accordingly, the 4th respondent issued Form-VII notices dated

Thereafter, the 4th respondent conducted detailed enquiry and on 08.01.2019 verified the documents and proposals presented by the Tahsildar/Convener as per the Andhra Pradesh Dotted Lands (Updating in Resettlement Register) Act, 2017. The 4th respondent committee, after considering the documents and detailed report submitted by 7th respondent found that the petitioner and his vendors are in continuous possession of the claimed land for more than 12 years, passed orders vide proceedings in R.Dis.E5/293/2019 dated 08.01.2019.

Accordingly, the 4th respondent directed the 5th respondent to delete the subject lands from the prohibitory properties list maintained under Section 22(A) of the Registration Act, 1908. Though the said order was passed on 08.01.2019, but till date the 7th respondent could not carry out Adangal correction / mutation by deleting the above lands from the prohibitory properties list.
