“..to issue a writ order or direction more particularly one in the nature of a Writ of Mandamus declaring the assailing the action of the respondents and their subordinates in interfering with the rights of the petitioners over the subject house site plots registered in their favour by the respondent No.4 as arbitrary, illegal, contrary to principles of law and the
2 well settled principle of legal position, apart from being violative of the fundamental and Constitutional rights guaranteed to me under Articles 14, 19, 21 and 300-A of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents not to interfere without our possession and enjoyment over the house site plots registered in our favour and to pass...”
2. During hearing,
learned counsel for the petitioners, without touching the merits of the case, requested this Court to issue a direction to the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from their lands, without following due process of law.
3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Respondents submitted that the petitioners are in continuous possession of subject land and the respondents’ authorities would follow due process of law and requested to pass appropriate orders in accordance With law. It is settled proposition of law that when the petitioners are in
4. settled possession and enjoyment of the property, the respondents are not entitled to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner and such highhanded action of the respondents would amount to depriving the petitioners violating constitutional right guaranteed under Article 300-A of the Constitution of India, besides violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Even assuming for a moment that this petitioners possession is illegal, still, the
% petitioners are required to be afforded an opportunity before taking appropriate action and in view of the law declared by the Apex Rame Gowda (dead) by L.Rs. v. M.Varadappa Naidu Court in (Dead) by L.Rs.\ when the petitioners are in settled possession enjoyment of the property, they cannot be dispossessed, without following due process of law. Therefore, the respondents
directed not to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioners’ subject property. However, if they intend to take any action against subject property of the petitioners, they shall follow the due procedure as contemplated under the law. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No and are
5. costs. As a sequel, interlocutory applications if any pending, shall stand closed.
