In compliance to the said order the present impugned notice on 25.10.2025 has been issued. Questioning the said notice, the present writ petition is filed. 5. Infact, both the petitioners as well as the unofficial respondents, instead of approaching the competent civil court to establish their respective rights over the property, they have been repeatedly approaching this Court by filing writ petitions.

Infact the earlier writ petition filed by the petitioners was also dispose of based on the submissions of the learned Assistant Government Pleader that the respondents would not interfere with the possession of the petition over the subject property except under due process of law. A perusal of the orders passed in the writ petitions filed by the writ petitioners and as the unofficial respondents clearly discloses that neither the writ petition was decided on merits nor were any the factual aspects. In circumstances, the impugned 5 notice is only pursuant to the orders issued by this Court, and the petitioners have every opportunity to place relevant material before the authorities. Pursuant to the said notice this court is not inclined to interfere with or entertain such type of writ petitions. 6.
