2.The petitioner admits that she leased out the petition mentioned land in favour of the fourth respondent. The petitioner's allegation is that the fourth respondent is illegally running a brick kiln Unit. The petitioner is constrained to move this Court because the petitioner's son was penalized for the alleged activity of the fourth respondent. I do not want to go into these factual controversies. The petitioner has given a representation on 25.10.2025 in this regard.
