If already, the respondents or the competent authority had initiated the proceedings in accordance with law, it is needless to say that the said proceedings may be further proceeded with. In the light of the same, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner relating to the subject matter of the writ petition unless and until due process of law is followed. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ P.S. NARAYANA, J AUGUST 25, 2009. KTL
