It is further stated that the first respondent never visited the fields of the petitioners along with the respondents 2 and 3 on 29.12.2002 or any subsequent date. 3. In view of the categorical denial of all the allegations made by the petitioners, I am of the opinion that the petitioners are not entitled for any relief, as the first respondent has not at all interfered with the rights of the petitioners. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J April 16, 2008 DSK
