The dated 17.07.1923 and DKT Patta No.403/4/1389 petitioners after purchasing the subject land from the assignees have been in possession and occupation of the same. While so, the 4'" respondent initiated proceedings under provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, and issued notice in Form I & II to the petitioners and the transferors.
