2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr.L.Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue representing learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 4. Perused the record.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners purchased land admeasuring Ac.1-11 guntas in Sy.No.199/23/2 situated at Uttaraspally Village, Kondurg Mandal, (earlier Shadnagar Mandal) Rangareddy District, in the year 2012, through unregistered sale deed, wherein the said land was originally assigned to one Sri N.Thirumalaiah, who is the father of the petitioners vendor. It is further submitted that the petitioners have submitted representations dated 22.12.2022 and 25.01.2023 before respondent Nos.2 and 4 requesting reassignment/mutation of the subject land in their names. However, despite receipt of the said representations, no action has been taken by the respondents. Hence, this writ petition.
