PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.22981 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges land conservancy proceedings and subsequent eviction. The contention of the petitioner is that the eviction was pending a stay order issued by this Court. I am not inclined to consider this contention for the reason that admittedly the land belongs to the Government and the land has been now entrusted to the Archaeological Department for the purpose of preservation of the property, in view of the Archaeological importance of the land. In any event the stay order was till a decision is taken as directed in the judgment and such a decision was taken by Ext.P6, pursuant to which only the petitioner was evicted from the land. Therefore, I am not inclined to exercise my discretionary jurisdiction in favour of the petitioner under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
