J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this court aggrieved by the alleged obstruction caused by respondents 1 and 2, in the matter of land development activities carried out in his property.

If that be so, the petitioner shall be issued a notice and he shall be afforded an opportunity for hearing in the matter. In the above circumstances, without expressing any opinion as to the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of making it clear that in case the respondents have a case that the petitioner is engaged in the illegal activity of conversion of land, he shall be duly served with a notice/memo and only thereafter, any action shall be taken in the matter.
