The case of the petitioner, in brief, is as follows: He is the absolute owner of the land admeasuring ac.2.38 gts. In S.No.230 of Armoor village, Armoor Mandal, Nizamabad District. He also purchased an extent of land admeasuring Ac.3.1 gts. in S.No.230 of Armoor village under a registered sale deed dated 18-52006 from Azizunnisa Begum and others and he was put in possession of the said land. After purchase, he got the land mutated in his name. He applied for permission for converting the land from ‘agricultural’ to ‘residential’ use for laying out house plots in the land. The 2nd respondent having conducted enquiry under the provisions of A.P. Agricultural Lands (Conversion of Non-agricultural purposes) Act, 2006 and having satisfied himself that the land does not form part of shikam in Sy.No.229, granted permission to him vide proceedings dated 30-3-2007 bearing No.A2/743/2007. Since the land in S.No.230 was a low-laying area, he obtained permission from the Assistant Director, Mines & Geology Department, Nizamabad under proceedings dated 13-5-2009 for lifting the gravel in Sy.No.189/20 of Perkit village, Armoor Mandal Nizamabad District for filing the gravel in S.No.230 and leveling the same. Prior to that, the 3rd respondent issued his no objection and recommended to the Assistant Director, Mines & Geology Department, Nizamabad under letter dated 12-2-2009 for lifting the gravel.
