Since then they stated to have been in possession and enjoyment of the same. While so, respondents 2 and 3 started taking possession of the land in and around the land assigned to the petitioners. They alleged to have been threatening the petitioners that they would take the assigned land of the petitioners by bulldozing the existing mango plantation and other crops cultivated by them, claiming that the said land also belongs to the Forest Department. The grievance of the petitioners is that if they are evicted from the said land, they would be deprived of their livelihood. Hence, this writ petition. A detailed counter is filed by the second respondent stating that the respondents are not at all interfering with the land assigned to the petitioners, but under the guise of the patta granted to them, petitioners are interfering with the land belonging to the forest department and causing obstruction to them. In the light of the said averment in the counter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the land assigned to the petitioners. However, it is made clear that if the petitioners enter into the forest land, which is adjacent to their land, the respondents are at liberty to evict them from the said land. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 06.06.2007 sh
