While so, the petitioners allege that the third respondent had issued letter dated 20-11-2004 stating that survey will be conducted and therefore, restrained the villagers from entering the land. The petitioners apprehend that the land will be allotted to other beneficiaries without giving any notice or opportunity to them. Hence, this writ petition.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of at the stage of admission. 15-12-2004 bsc .....
