3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of land admeasuring Ac.7.32 guntas in Survey No.515, situated at Amistapur Village, Bhoothpur Mandal, Mahabubnagar District.

Despite receipt of the said notice, respondent No.2 failed to respond. Thereafter, on 22.01.2026, the petitioner submitted another representation reiterating the earlier grievances and requested the authorities to take immediate action for removal of the illegal and unauthorized constructions being carried out by respondent No.3.
