In view of the above submission of the learned Standing counsel, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent Municipality not to meddle with the private properties of the petitioners, except in accordance with law. It is further made clear that if the properties of the petitioners are required for any public purpose, the respondent authorities shall follow due process of law. No order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand disposed of. __________________ A.V.SESHA SAI, J Date: 18.09.2017 ES
