No counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents. Since the apprehension of petitioners is that respondents would acquire the lands belonging to the temple, in their possession, without following the procedure prescribed in the G.O.Ms.No.456, dated 29.09.1995, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to comply with the provisions of the G.O.Ms.No.456 Revenue (Endts-II) Department, dated 29-09-1995 in case they intend to acquire the lands of the temple which are in possession of the petitioners.
