Heard Mr. Binod Kumar, learned assistant counsel to Standing Counsel No.5. 2. The writ petition has been preferred with the prayer to restrain respondent nos.6 to 12 from harvesting the wheat and Arhar crops which were shown and grown by the petitioners on their own land. Respondent nos.6 to 12 are private individuals and are obviously not ‘State’ within the 2 meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. It appears to be a private dispute between the two sets of individuals. The writ petition is not maintainable. 3. The writ petition is dismissed. (S K Katriar, J.) S.K.Pathak/
