It is pertinent to mention that the father of the petitioners bl' name Chukka Balaiah is the signatory to the registered sale deed executed by Veerakka Baiamani in favour of Amarnath Agaru.al. It is the specific contention of 7 LNA, J C.R. P. No.3366 of 2024 respondent No. 1 that after resurvey Sy.No.28a/A/2 (old) was changed to Sy. No.29 1 I 2 (nev,) and it is further case of respondent No.1 that having alienated the entire extent, the petitioners have no land in Sy.No.29 1/2 (new).

13. The appellate Court specilically observed that the petitioners are disputing the transactions that were made by their own family members and that new survey number was a-llotted to their property, therefore, burden is on the petitioners to prove prima-facie case that new survey number *-", \ 8 LNA, J C R P.No 33(t6 ol2O2a has been allotted to the suit schedule property and since; the petitioners have farled to substantiate their claim, they are not entitled lor any injunction. The trial Court further observed that the petitioners did not refer to the sale transaction i.e., earlier alienation made by Chukka Narsaiah and Chukka Sathaiah uide sale deed bearing Nos. 4093 of 1984 and 1487 of 1987 which amounts to suppression of material facts and alienation ol land in Sy.No.292 and thus, the hrst appellate Court was not inclined to interfere u,ith the order passed b.v the trihl Court.
14. A perusal of record would also disclose til.at prima-facie land in Sy.No.292 was alienated by Chukka Narsaiah and Chukka Sathaiah uide sale deed bearing Nos.4093 ol 1984 and 1487 ol 1987 and the petitioners do not have any balance land in Sy.No.292.

18. 10.2003 by Respondent No.2 to which the father of the petitioners by name Chukka Balaiah was a signatory.
