Admittedly, the third respondent is the owner of the property and it is always open for them either to lease out the same to any third party or to cultivate by themselves. Hence, the writ petition is misconceived and accordingly the same is dismissed. No costs. _________________ 27.10.2004 VGB To 1 The Asst.
