Petitioners 1 and 2 claimed to have purchased Bungalow No.201 at Tadbund, Tirumalgherry Mandal, Secunderabad from petitioners 3 and 4. They submitted application for rectiﬁcation of entries in GLR.

Sri Deepak Bhattacharjee received notice on behalf of respondent No.4.

In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 10-03-2007 with regard to the rectiﬁcation of entries in respect of Bungalow No.201, and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
