It is the specific case of the petitioners that the said land is classified as Ziroyti land which was originally owned by one Sri Pyda Suryanarayana Murthy. Later, the said land was developed into a layout which was approved by the Director of Town and Country Planning vide DTCP Layout No.548 of 1984. Be that as it may. The said Suryanarayana Murthy was declared as surplus land holder under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973. It is stated that against the orders passed by the primary authority, the said Pyda Suryanarayana Murthy approached the Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal by filing an appeal. It is stated that the said appeal was allowed by setting aside the order passed by the primary authority where under the order passed by the primary authority was set aside. 2. Aggrieved by the orders passed by the Tribunal, the State filed two 3. revision petitions vide C.R.P.Nos.2710 and 2711 of 1985 before this Court. 4. The said ' H order dated revision petitions 02.09.1985 by recording submissions for Finance and Planning impugned orders against which the Later, the State were dismissed by the made by learned Government Pleader stating that the Government iIS not aggrieved by the revision petitions filed by the State. 5. earned the matter by filing a Special Leave Petitions and 1127 of 1989, which came to be an order dated 03.02.1995.

Later, the orders passed by this Court was also confirmed by the Hon’ble Apex Court by an order dated 03.02.1995 in S.L.P.No.1126 and 1127 of 1985. From the above, it is clear that the LCC case in respect of subject land attained finality way back in the year 1995. Despite the same, the respondents included the subject land in prohibited properties list without verifying the factual matrix of the case. Apart from the same, learned counsel for the petitioners places reliance on various communications and permissions accorded by respondent No.2 whose under similarly situated persons like that of the petitioners were permitted to alienate their respective plots. In view of the same, the plots were alienated without raising any objection by the respondents. 11. 12. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submits that counter affidavit is filed by respondent No.2 stating that in view of the pendency of proceedings under the Land Ceiling Act, the property was rightly included under prohibited properties list.
