In the said petition, an unequivocal statement was made that since the land in Sy.No.83 was treated as vacant land under the provisions of the 1976 Act, the provisions of the 1973 Act are not applicable. It was therefore requested in the said petition to release the extent of Ac. 99-32 cents of land to the land owners immediately. The said request having been rejected by the Tribunal on 19-04-1982, four appeals viz., LRA.Nos.6/83, 15/83,16/83 and 45/83 were filed before the Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal-cum-District Judge, Ranga Reddy.

The appellate tribunal held that in the absence of any material produced, it cannot be positively held that the lands are to be treated as vacant lands falling under the 1976 Act and that the said issue cannot be decided in the said appeals straightaway. The appellate tribunal, therefore, allowed the appeals and remanded the matters to the Land Reforms Tribunal for fresh disposal. After remand, the Tribunal, vide its order dated 10-11-1987, while accepting the plea of the declarants that the entire land was vacant land falling under the provisions of the 1976 Act, directed that the extent of Acs. 99-17 cents of land in Sy.No.83 shall revert back to the land owners. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Chevella Division was requested to deliver back the possession of the said lands to the declarants. Accordingly, on 25-04-1990, the possession of the said extent of land was delivered to the declarants through their G.P.A., Sri A.Ramaswamy under a panchanama.

No. 18385 of 1993 seeking several reliefs including the one for declaration that the land in Sy.No.83 of Raidurg village is neither urban land nor vacant land within the meaning of the 1976 Act and that the same is not liable for determination or being dealt with under the provisions of the said Act and also for a declaration that all the proceedings taken under the 1976 Act were void ab initio and without jurisdiction. The learned Single Judge relied on the ratio of the judgment of the Supreme Court in Smt. Athia Mohammadi Begum v. State of U.P. and quashed the proceedings held under the 1976 Act by observing that till 29-09-1980 when the revised master plan came into operation, the disputed land was an agricultural land.
