The submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that they were not aware of the order dated 28.09.2002 and in paragraph 19 of the writ petition, averments have been made explaining the laches, inasmuch as, that the petitioners' possession was disturbed in December, 2024 when the Lekhpal came to the spot and informed that the lease in favour of the petitioners have been cancelled. It is stated that thereafter the petitioners have filed the instant petition assailing the ex-parte order dated 28.09.2002. By means of the impugned order dated 28.09.2002, the Authorities have noticed that the present petitioners were not the ordinary residents of the village in question. It was also noticed that they were minors at the time when the alleged allotment took place and the father of the petitioners was working as a Lekhpal during that time and it is in the aforesaid circumstances the entries have been made regarding the alleged allotment which on the face of record could not have been done in favour of the petitioners. At this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he does not wish to press the present petition which is accordingly dismissed as not pressed.
