ORDER:

The impugned proceedings of the Sub-Collector under proceeding Rc.B2/1415/2015 dated Nil.09.2015 is questioned in this writ petition wherein notice of enquiry was given fixing the date of enquiry on 03.10.2015 wherein cancellation of patta in Sy.No.131 to an extent of Ac.4.16 cents granted in favour of petitioners is being enquired into.

2. In earlier WP.No.24155 of 2014 dated 01.09.2014, filed by the petitioners, this Court observed that since the grievance of the petitioners is already redressed, no further orders are necessary. However, petitioners allege that pending enquiry, as above, the fourth respondent is interfering with their possession. Petitioners also state that they are ready and willing to cooperate with the enquiry.

3. The said allegation on the face of it cannot be accepted as the fourth respondent, being subordinate to the third respondent, who is conducting enquiry, has to await the decision of the enquiry and cannot physically interfere. Since the petitioners are willing to cooperate with the enquiry, let the enquiry be completed, as already notified, by the Sub-Collector. The fourth respondent shall await the result of the enquiry before taking any further action against the petitioners. The writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J
