Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the father of petitioners namely Rukmini Das was pattadar of the land admeasuring to an extent of Ac:2-24 gts in Sy.No.207 situated at Adibatla Village, Ibrahimpatnam Mandal, Ranga Reddy District and his name was reflected in the pahani up to the year, 1978 and after his death, the petitioners are in possession of the said property by cultivating the land from several decades. When the petitioners have approached the Mandal Revenue Officer for pattadar passbooks, the names of Mr. Mokira Narayana and Anitha Rani were reflected in the pahanies for some time and now in Dharani Portal, the name of the respondent No.5 is shown for the land admeasuring to an extent of Ac.1-12 gts in Sy.No.207/1 and Ac.1-12 gts in Sy.No.207/2 without any valid transaction and without any sale deed from the father of the petitioners or from the petitioners.
