3. Learned standing counsel has placed on record the instructions received from Executive Engineer, Construction Division-4, (Kumbh Mela), PWD, Prayagraj. According to it, on the request of the petitioners, a spot inspection was carried out on 18.04.2025. At the time of spot inspection, the Village Pradhan and various villagers were present. According to spot inspection report dated 16.05.2025, the land of the petitioners was not found to be affected by the road. It is also stated that in case, the petitioners are not satisfied with the spot inspection report, it is open to them to get their holding demarcated in appropriate proceedings.
4. As the respondents do not admit the claim of the petitioners and since, there appears to be dispute relating to identity and demarcation of the land of the petitioners, therefore, we dispose of the instant petition with liberty to the petitioners to apply for demarcation before appropriate Authority.
