It is his case that despite an order in his favour by the Special Deputy Collector in S.R.No.85/97 dated 10.10.1997 the respondents are still trying to dispossess him of the land without authority of law. Learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare would submit that the apprehension is without basis. He would point out that it is not even the petitioner’s case that the petitioner was served with a notice calling upon him to vacate the land in question. He would further submit that any action which the respondents may take to have the petitioner evicted from the land in question would only be in accordance with law. The submission made by the learned Government Pleader on behalf of the respondents is taken on record. Since there is no material on record to show that the petitioner has been put on notice by the respondents to vacate the land in question, it is evident that his apprehension is without basis. The Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ___________ 26-08-2008 GS
