He further submits that, without following due process of law, the petitioner's alleged property right will not be disturbed by the respondent - authorities.

Recording the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, the Writ Petition is closed. However, it is made clear that the respondent - authorities shall not interfere with the property rights of the

petitioner without following due process of law as enjoined under the A.P.Municipalities Act, 1965.
