It is the case of the petitioners that they filed O.S.No.75 of 2005 on the file of the Junior Civil Judge, Hindupur for perpetual injunction restraining the respondents therein, but the injunction application has been erroneously dismissed against which C.M.A.3 of 2006 has been filed on the file of the Additional District Judge, Hindupur, in which an Advocate-Commissioner was appointed, and the said Advocate-Commissioner filed a report stating that the subject-matter of the suit schedule property is Sy.No.484-1 in which the house of the petitioners bearing H.No.5- 1-24 situated at Laxmipur, Hindupur was found. It is stated that while the petitioners were in occupation and enjoyment of the said property, the 2nd respondent-Tahsildar, Hindupur vide his proceedings in Rc.No.335/05(B) dated 10-09-2007, submitted proposals for alienation of the land of an extent of Ac.1.48 cents in Sy.No.484-1, Srikantapuram village in favour of Hindupur Journalists Mutually Aided Co-operative House Building Society stating that the land is free from encroachments and the injunction application filed by the petitioners was dismissed and the civil suit is pending.
