It is also stated that the building, with two floors, was constructed, and that an application was submitted for regularization of the same, under the B.P.S. Scheme, before the Municipal Corporation. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Revenue Authorities of the Shaikpet Mandal are trying to demolish the building. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. On instructions, obtained at the stage of admission, learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner constructed the building in Government land.
