While admitting this writ petition, this Court, on 10.03.2000, granted interim order in WPMP No.5172 of 2000 directing the respondents not to evict the petitioners from the land in question except through due process of law. The respondents though served did not choose to file any counter-affidavit. Heard. Since the main contention of the learned Counsel for the petitioners is that the respondents herein are trying to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question, without issuing any notice and without following due process of law and that the respondents have not filed any counter-affidavit controverting the said contention, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question without following due process of law. No costs. ____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 22-06-2007 Gsn.
