Is there any order of any Court impeding the undertaking of construction by the petitioner on adadi land in his possession? Is there any legal impediment in this regard specially as it is the claim of the petitioner that temporary injunction initially granted in favour of opposite party no.6 in Regular Suit No.216 of 2021 has been vacated and Application C-6 for grant of temporary injunction has been rejected. If the demarcation has already taken place as claimed by the petitioner based on the report annexed as Annexure -6 to the writ petition then what is the impediment for the petitioner being allowed to construct his house and who is creating hindrance. 2.
