P7 and P8 and thus providing an opportunity to the petitioners to bid for the property. 2. Standing Counsel appearing for the bank submits that sale notice dated 22.12.2007 was published in the newspapers on 23.12.2007 and public auction was also held on 29.12.2007. In view of this, the prayer made in this writ petition has become infructuous. The petitioner apprehends dispossession from the property in question. If that be so, that is a matter which is to be challenged separately. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
