HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NAGESH BHEEMAPAKA WRIT PETITION No. 7567 OF 2022

O R D E R :

The 1^st petitioner claims ownership to agricultural land in Survey No.83 admeasuring Acs.3.00 at Kongarakhurd Village, Maheshwaram Mandal, Ranga Reddy District under a Memorandum of oral gift executed by his late father Mohd Khaja Khan, supported by the occupancy rights certificate dated 03.01.1998 under the provisons of the Telangana Abolition of Inams Act (for shor, ‘the Act’). The 2^nd petitioner similarly owns land in Survey No. 264, spanning Acs.9.14 guntas, in the same village and district, acquired via an occupancy rights certificate dated 17.03.1993. They have enjoyed uninterrupted possession of the land, as did their ancestors before them. It is stated, revenue records have consistently reflected petitioners as pattadars and possessors, with no challenges from either the Waqf Board or revenue authorities.

While so, at the request of petitioners, their land was converted from agricultural to non-agricultural use, however, when attempted to execute a sale deed, they encountered resistance from the Sub-Registrar's Office due to their property's inclusion in Gazette Notification No.6, dated 08.02.2007
