The petitioner states that various third parties are encroaching the said land and raising constructions therein. He made a representation dated 13-02-2004 to the first respondent and another representation, dated 10-3-2004 to the Secretary to Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad to protect the land from encroachments.
