In the counter the respondent authorities categorically stated that they are constructing Government offices in Sy.No.33 but not in Sy.Nos.34 & 35 and further, none of the officials tried to construct any Government building in the subject land and not caused any obstruction to the petitioners and other farmers. In view of the same, as the respondent authorities are not interfering with the subject property, there remains nothing for adjudication on merits and writ petition can be disposed of by recording the counter. 8. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications, pending if any, shall stand closed. _____________________________ JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI Date: 03rd January, 2025 RKS
