Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. Counter is filed by the 3rd respondent stating that subject land admeasuring Ac.1-86 cents in Sy.No.154/4A/19 is originally classified as Assessed waste land and later it was assigned to the landless poor persons.

Counter does not say to whom the land was assigned and when the registration of the document in respect of said land has been done from 1953 onwards, it is not known, how the said land is treated as assigned land.
