The contention of the Petitioner is that, though he was granted Patta long back before 1954, the Respondents, without following due process, are proceeding with the construction of a compound wall of the KV Sub- Station in that land. They have also included the land of the Petitioner to an extent of Ac. 0.50 cents. 3. In reply to the said contention, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue has submitted that the Patta for the subject land was resumed long back in 2007 itself and handed over to the Corporation for the construction of a Sub-Station, in an extent of Ac. 3.33 cents, in Survey No.1204 of Vengalayapalem, H/o. Ankireddypalem Village. Out of this, the Respondents have now constructed a Sub-Station in an extent of Ac. 3.21 cents. -4- W.P.No.34639 OF 2025 Date of order:12.12.2025 4.
