They have filed a suit in O.S.No.258/1990, seeking relief of directing the defendant to quit and deliver vacant possession of the plaint schedule properties and also sought for mesne profits. It is further averred in the plaint that the said Babu Sab was a resident of Peresandra and the lands bearing Sy.Nos.94/2, 94/3 and 94/4 of Peresandra village belonged to deceased Babusab. The said Babusab had purchased the property from Reddy Avulappa. It is the case of the plaintiffs that the defendant is the owner of the adjacent land and the plaintiffs have surveyed the land belonging to them and came to know that certain extent of their land had been encroached by the defendant and as such it is the case of the plaintiffs that they have issued notice dated 18.06.1990 to the defendant to vacate the encroached portion of the land.
