The present Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of

India seeking the following relief:

“…to issue Writ, Order or direction more particularly one in a

nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the

respondent no.4 in not mutating the name of the petitioner in

the revenue records with respect to the land in Sy.No.14-1 to

an extent of Ac.5.00 cents in Maluguru village, Hindupur

Mandal, Sree Sathya Sai District, as illegal, arbitrary,

mutate the name of the petitioner in an extent of Sy.No.14-1 to

an extent of Ac.5.00 cents in Maluguru Village, Hindupur

Mandal, Sree Sathya Sai District and to pass such other order

or orders…”

2. The short grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner is the absolute

owner of the land admeasuring Ac.5.00 cents in Sy.No.14-1 at Maluguru

Village, Hindupur Mandal, Sree Sathya Sai District. The petitioner acquired

the said land through registered sale deed vide Registration No.6564/2016.

records. However, the respondents have not considered the said application.

Hence, present writ petition has been filed.

on instructions, submits that respondent authorities have rejected the

application on the ground that the petitioner had purchased the assigned land

in contravention of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of

Transfers) Act, 1977 and that an endorsement to that effect has already been
