The specific case of the petitioners is that the petitioners purchased the subject property by virtue of a registered sale deed dated 27.01.2025. When the petitioners verified the TSLR, they found that the names of one Angammal and one Rani had been included. Hence, the petitioners submitted an application to cancel the names of those persons in the revenue records.

Hence, the petitioners submitted a representation to the respondents on 01.04.2024 seeking for change in the classification of the property.
