The petitioners, who claimed to be in longstanding possession of the lands shown in the affidavit filed in support of the petition, filed Writ Petition No.18022 of 2007 before this Court and the said writ petition was disposed of on 28.08.2007 with the direction to respondent Nos.4 and 5 to consider the petitioners’ claim for grant of pattas, provided they are found to be landless and poor persons. By order, dated .02.2008 passed by respondent No.4, the petitioners’ claim for pattas was rejected. The petitioners filed appeal before respondent No.5 and they claim that the appeal is pending. The petitioners also pleaded that they filed civil suit for injunction against the Revenue Department and the said suit is also pending before the competent Court. The grievance of the petitioners is that at the instance of respondent No.4, respondent Nos.2 and 3 are interfering with the petitioners’ possession of the said lands. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Home, I am of the view that interests of justice would be met, if the respondents are directed not to interfere with the petitioners’ possession and enjoyment of the lands mentioned in the writ petition till respondent No.5 disposes of the appeal filed by the petitioners against the order of respondent No.4. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.14045 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
