3. The petitioners are the owners of the property admeasuring 2,500 Sq.yards in Sy.No.83 situated at Mylardevpally Village, Rajendranagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The said property was leased to respondent No.2 vide Lease Deed, dated 01.06.2004 for a period of twenty years. The rent payable for first five years is Rs.35,000/- per month to be enhanced at 10% for every five years.

Satyanarayana Lahoti and others (SLP(C) No.1638 of 2026) and National Company V.

5. The factual situation in W.A.Nos.97, 105 and 188 of 2026 is similar to the facts and circumstances of the present case and therefore, respondent No.2 is directed to vacate the petitioners’ property within a period of three months from the date of communication of this order copy. Respondent No.4 may take appropriate steps pursuant to the show-cause notice, dated 18.08.2025.
