The same is disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner stating that the writ petitioner is in possession of the same.

4) Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and without going into the merits of the case, the present writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to follow due

process of law in dispossessing the petitioner from the subject land, if the petitioner is in possession of the same. No order as to costs.

5) Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
