In pursuance of notice issued by this Court, the learned Government Pleader has appeared and has submitted that the land which is subject matter of the writ petition, belongs to Government and pattas have also been issued in respect of the said land in pursuance of Indiramma Housing Scheme. It is clarified that the land in question does not belong to panchayath and it never vested with the panchayath. In addition to the above fact, the persons in whose favour the pattas have been granted, have not been made parties to this writ petition. In the aforesaid circumstances, we do not find any substance in the allegations levelled in the writ petition, and, therefore, the writ petition is rejected. _________________ ANIL R.
