State of Telangana and others), filed under Article 226 seeking a mandamus to consider representations dated 08.10.2021 and 23.10.2021 for regularization of Plot No.140 (H.No.1-65/43/140), admeasuring 400 sq.yds. in Sy.No.32, Guttala Begumpet Village, Serilingampally Mandal and Municipality, Ranga Reddy District, in terms of Clause (g) of G.O.Ms.No.747, Revenue (UC-I) Department, dt.18.06.2008.
