While admitting this writ petition, this Court, on 05.05.1998, granted interim order in WPMP No.15986 of 1998 directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the lands in question, pending disposal of the writ petition. The respondents though served did not choose to file any counter-affidavit. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the lands in question. However, it is made clear that if the land in question is required by the respondents for any public purpose, it is always open for them to take possession of the same only after following due process of law. No costs. ____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 22-02-2007 Gsn.
