The petitioners acquired an extent of Ac.24.09 cents of land in Survey Nos.48, 49, 50, 65, 66, 68 and 69 of Puduru Village, Gadwal Manal, Mahabubnagar District. They wanted to construct godowns in that land. With that objective, they filed an application on 12.02.2011 before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Gadwal, 2nd respondent herein under Section 3 of the Act. The 2nd respondent called for report of the Tahsildar, Gadwal, 3rd respondent herein as required under the Rules framed under the Act (for short 'the Rules'). The report submitted by the 3rd respondent revealed that the applications are pending under the A.P. (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 (for short 'the Tenancy Act') in respect of land in Survey Nos.40, 49 and 50 and that the petitioners themselves have submitted applications for cancellation of the certificates of protected tenancy issued in respect of those lands. Taking these aspects into account, the 2nd respondent passed an order dated 09.04.2011 rejecting the application of the petitioners. The same is challenged in this writ petition.
