The Special Tahsildar, Salem acquired about 1.43 acres of land out of the aforesaid property belonging to M/s.N.K.Srinivasan and Family. The acquired lands were classified as S.Nos.27/2B and the remaining land which were not acquired were classified as S.Nos.27/2C by the Award No.16/1975 dated 24.03.1975.

It is the futher case of the petitioner that the respondents reclassified the aforesaid land in S.No.27/2C2 as Town Survey Nos.77/1 and 80. While resurveying the revenue officials converted the extent of the land of 2.44 acres into sq.mts and measured as 9678 sq.mts instead of 9874 sq.mts. The relevant name of the pattadars was not entered for T.S.No.77/1 and the column was left vacant and for T.S.No.80, the names of the owners are given as Rajamani, Jayanthi and Padmavathi instead of Rajamani, Jayanthi and Suganthi.
