2. Heard Sri V. Hanumanth Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners and Smt S. Sravanthi, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents and perused the material on record.

3. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have inherited from their forefathers the movable and immovable properties which includes the agriculture land admeasuring to an extent of Ac.5.13 gts in Sy.Nos.569, 561, 562, 563 (old No.1) and Ac.16-24 gts in Sy.Nos.559 and 568 (old No.57) situated at Kongara Khurd (B) village of erstwhile Ibrahimpatnam now in Maheshwaram Revenue Mandal in Ranga Reddy District and they have sold their part of said lands to the third parties. He submits that initially the said village was un-surveyed and for the purpose of record, the authorities have roughly noted the lands held by each individual land holder in the village and in that process, the lands held by the grandfather of petitioners namely N.Venkat Reddy was also noted as Mazi No.1 and 57 known as ‘Mazi Number’ in all survey records with roughly measured extent as Ac.6-00 bigas=Ac.4-20 gts and Ac.16.00 bigas=Ac.12.00 gts respectively. He further submits that in the year, 1954, regular survey was conducted in the entire village, measured all the lands scientifically and assigned regular survey numbers. After survey, the total extent of land in the said Mazi Nos.1 and 57 was found to be Ac.5-13 gts and Ac.16.24 gts respectively and as per the norms, Mazi No.1 was given new Sy.Nos.569, 561, 562, 563 admeasuring to an extent of Ac.5-13 gts and Magi No.57 was given new Sy.Nos.559 and 568 admeasuring to an extent of Ac.16.24 gts and all relevant records such as Wasool Baki, Tekha Bandhi, Prathi Book, Mozni plot, Pucca Book, Tippan and Correlation statements which are available with the respondents would establish the said fact. He submits that despite the survey conducted in the year, 1954 and Gazette was issued in the year,1958 giving sanctity to said survey, the revenue authorities have neither incorporated the new Survey numbers nor their respective extents in the revenue records and as a result, the very old Nos.1 and 57 with erroneous extents as Ac.4.20 gts and Ac.12.00 gts respectively was continued in the revenue records.

4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners further submits that though the petitioners have filed representations on 11.09.2014 and 27.05.2015 for implementation of survey records, no action has been taken thereon. He submits that once the survey records were finalized and gezetted, it is the bounden duty of the respondents to update the records incorporating the details in all concerned records and due to non- incorporation of new survey numbers with respective extents, the petitioners are unable to exercise their rights on the updated extent of their lands and requested to allow the writ petition by directing the respondents
