Though the writ petition was admitted about a decade ago on 24.12.2002, counter affidavit is not filed. No purpose would be served by keeping the writ petition pending. Therefore, applying the principle of non-traverse, the writ petition is disposed of observing that if the petitioners are in possession of land as on today, they cannot be dispossessed without following due process of law and without conducting enquiry. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 30.09.2010 Pln
