the [Brahma Kumaris] addressed a letter dated 1-3-2001 to the Honourable Chief Minister, Government of Andhra Pradesh to sanction "a suitable land centrally located at Hyderabad at free of costs or at nominal charges" for construction of training centre having training Halls, Modern Audio Visual Library, Meditation Rooms, Spiritual Art Gallery, in house accommodation etc. The main aim of the said modem training centre is to motivate and educate the public at large to adopt the values, which will be helpful in all the fields of life.

58. Serious illegality and irregularity has been committed in delivering the advance possession of the lands in question to [the Brahma Kumaris] and such delivery of advance possession is without any authority of law.

Advance possession has been delivered may be on paper contrary to the Alienation Rules as well as the Lease Rules. The very decision proposing to grant lease for a period of 30 years taken subsequent to delivery of possession is contrary to rules.

59. For all the aforesaid reasons, the decision of the government to grant lease of the land to respondents 5 and 6 is declared illegal and ultra vires. The decision is accordingly set aside. The action of the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District in delivering the advance possession of the land in question to respondents 5 and 6 is also set aside.

60. The petitioner industry, however, is not entitled for any renewal of lease in its favour. The land shall continue to vest in the government and the government shall resume the land and take over the same from the possession of respondents 5 and 6. The land for all purposes shall be treated as government land and vests in the government.

It was further stated in this representation that the institution is purely religious having various centres all over India
