Despite several representation from the end of the petitioner, the respondents-State have remained silent over the matter and continued illegal possession of the petitioner’s land thereby infringing the petitioner’s constitutional right guaranteed under Article-300A of the Constitution of India. [5] Hence, the present petitioner has been preferred before this Court for redress. [6] In view of above and having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties, without expressing any opinion on merits, this Court is of the view that ends of justice would be met if the matter is disposed of by directing the respondents to consider all relevant documents that would be placed by the petitioner for taking appropriate decision in accordance law. The said decision be taken within a period of one week from the date of receipt of the copy of this order. It is needless to observe that in the event, if the respondents are convinced that the petitioner is the owner of the land, possession of the petitioner be restored. [7] In that view of the matter, the present petition stands disposed of. As a sequel, miscellaneous application, pending if any, shall stands closed. DR.T. AMARNATH GOUD, J A.
