2. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that petitioners herein are the legal heirs of the declarant. C.R.P.No.3266 of 1977 was filed by the petitioner therein which was allowed observing that the extent of holding of the petitioner and the excess, if any, to be surrendered by him, will be determined in the light of the findings contained in its order.

As such, it was determined under Section 9 of the Telangana Land Reforms (COAH) Act, 1973 that the declarant is the surplus holder to an extent of 0.5464 standard holding.
