The Deputy Director of Survey and Land Records, Hyderabad replied to the petitioners that since their name was not entered in the revenue records, the land cannot be demarcated. Writ Petition filed by the petitioner-appellants to declare the entries made in TSLR in respect of the petitioners land as illegal was dismissed on the ground that as per the stand taken by the respondents, the land in Sy.No. 314 of Gaddiannaram village was Government land and the Government has initiated land grabbing proceedings in L.G.C. No.113 of 1989, and, therefore, no direction can be issued as prayed for in the writ petition. The learned counsel for the appellants states that neither the appellants are parties to the Land Grabbing Case nor the land comprising Survey No.314 is covered by the Land Grabbing Case. In case, petitioner-appellants feel that their land is not covered by the Land Grabbing Case and they would like to establish their claim over the land, which they claim that it was purchased by their father, and there is no entry in the revenue record so far or the entries are changed, it is for the petitioner-appellants to establish their rights by approaching the Civil Court for declaration of title. The Writ Appeal, therefore, is dismissed. No costs. ______________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. 2.3.2005. ___________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J. VR. To 1.
