The contention of the petitioners is that since they are landless poor, the Government assigned Ac.0.03 cents of house sites each, in their favour. They constructed small houses in their respective plots. It is their case that due to heavy rains, their houses were collapsed, and they are trying to reconstruct the same. They contend that the respondents 2 and 3 are leveling the plots assigned to them, and when they enquired about their acts, they stated that the said plots are to be handed over to the Social Welfare Department, 4th respondent, for the purpose of construction of B.C.Hostel. Contending that the respondents 2 and 3 are trying to dispossess the petitioners from the plots, without following any due process of law and without giving any opportunity, filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It is the apprehension of the petitioners that the respondents 2 and 3 are leveling the plots assigned to them for the purpose of handing it over to the 4th respondent for construction of B.C.Hostel. In that view of the matter and also in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the plots, without following the due process of law.
