2. The writ petition was filed by the resident of a lay out on the allegation that a common area which is reserved for park is now converted for house site. It is further stated that some private individuals including the petitioners have encroached the common area and putting up construction. In that view, this Court even without issuing notice to the petitioners herein, passed an order directing the official respondents to stop the construction and remove the encroachments after giving due notice and opportunity to all parties concerned by following due process of law. There were further directions which would indicate that the order would certainly affect the rights of individuals, if the case of the petitioners have to be accepted.

3. According to the petitioners, the acquisition proceeding in respect of the petitioners' land has been quashed by this Court. Referring to the Judgment of this Court, wherein, notification under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act was quashed by this Court. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners states that the notification under Section 4(1) was also lapsed as the acquisition was not completed by subsequent Section 6 declaration as directed by this Court. If that is so, the lay out plan which is shown by the petitioners cannot be accepted. 4/7

4. It is seen that several area which are reserved for public purpose in the lay out do not belong to the housing board.

5. In that view of the matter, we are convinced that the petitioners are having substantial right to defend their case in the writ petition. Therefore, the order is recalled. However, the petitioners shall file counter affidavit within a week. 6.Post the Writ Petition for final hearing on 31.08.2023. In the meanwhile, the housing board is required to produce the files and file a counter. sd/- 17/08/2023 / TRUE COPY / /08/2023 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.)
