The Court made the following : JUDGMENT (Per Hon’ble the Acting Chief Justice) Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. This writ appeal has been filed challenging the order passed by the learned single Judge in W.P.No.7984/2003. The operative portion of the order of the learned single Judge reads as under: “. . . I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting leave and liberty to the petitioners to make appropriate applications before the competent authority seeking assignment of the lands in their occupation. If any such applications are made within a period of four weeks from today, the same shall be considered and appropriate orders be passed in accordance with law by the competent authority. Till such orders are passed, the respondents are directed not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners in respect of the bunks in question situated in Sy.No.414 of Madakasira village.” 3 . The grievance of the appellant is that Gram Panchayat has an interest in the matter and without hearing them, the competent authority may pass orders detrimental to the Gram Panchayat. 4 . In this view of the matter, we modify the order of learned single Judge to the effect that while hearing the writ petitioners in the applications they make, 6th respondent may also give a notice to the Gram Panchayat and hear their point of view before passing orders in accordance with law. 5. The writ appeal is accordingly disposed of. No costs. --------------------------------- BILAL NAZKI, HACJ ----------------------------------- DR.G.YETHIRAJULU,J AVS DATE:19-04-2005 ........REGISTRAR To 1. L.Imthiaz, S/o. L. Lateef Sab, R/o.
