Over the said Land, there was a civil dispute between the said Pathiyamma and Swami naidu and others. The dispute was taken up in Civil Courts finally the said Pathiyamma won the case and took possession through Court. After that, she sold the property to the petitioner under registered sale deed dated 28.07.1987. Patta also was transferred in the name of the petitioner. After all these years, the said Venkatasalu and his supporters encroached the petitioner's property and threatened the petitioner to finish him of if he comes near the property.
