ORDER

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent. 2.The petitioner wants this Court to restrain the respondent from interfering with her peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petition mentioned property by laying oil pipelines. The prayer itself is rather limited.

3.All that the petitioner wants is that the respondent should follow the due process of law. It appears that the petitioner had purchased the property in question after issuance of the notice under Sections 3(1) and 6 of the Petroleum and Minerals, Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User in Land) Act, 1962. Be that as it may, the learned Standing Counsel assures that due process of law will be followed. The learned Standing Counsel would further point out that the correct survey number is 61/3 and not what is mentioned in the petition. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner accepts the said submission made by the learned standing counsel. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2
