Heard learned counsel for petitioners and the learned Government pleader for Endowments, appearing for respondents 1 and 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the lease period in respect of the lands in question was extended in their favour till 2007-2008 and therefore, no auction should be conducted for the said period. Hence, he prays to allow the writ petition setting aside the impugned notice dated 08.05.2005. However, learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents contended that the petitioners are not the tenants of the lands in question, but that the father of the petitioners was a tenant and that lease period was also not extended till 2007-2008. Therefore, he prays to dismiss the writ petition. The petitioners have not filed any material to show that the lease period has been extended up to 2007-2008. The petitioners are indulging in speculation. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ___________ 16.09.2005 sh
