While so, on 05-09-2007 and 26-09-2007 the respondent made an attempt to dispossess the petitioner from the lands in question without following due process of law. Therefore, this writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in trying to dispossess the petitioner from the lands in question without following due process of law as illegal and arbitrary.
