Therefore, the present writ petition is filed. After getting instructions in the matter, the learned Standing Counsel for L.B.Nagar Municipality submits that the writ petition is filed on mere apprehension and in the guise of conducting joint inspection, Municipality is not trying to dispossess the petitioners nor hand over the land to appropriate authorities. The same is recorded.
