Abdullapurmet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, since the year 1980. The

a new e-passbook under the Bhu Bharathi System. The learned counsel

the subject land for the purpose of establishment of a Traffic Police

Station without any notice to the petitioner, without payment of

compensation for the subject property and without complying with the

statutory process. Learned counsel prays that the respondents be

restrained from dispossessing the petitioner from the subject property
