and the assessment ordcrs were also shown in the said D-form pattas varying from with the housc No.5-5-412/1,5-5-41,2/28, etc., which evidently show that the petitior-rers have been living in the said slum area, but, however, the n-rain basic grievarrce of ihe learned Special Government Pleader was that, in order to give a better facilitics, they were shifted to Afza| Sagar, F{yderabad by de-notifying the slum.
