The said applications having been dismissed, the Petitioners are before this Court seeking for the aforesaid reliefs. 7. The Trial Court dismissed the said applications on the ground that though the Plaintiffs claim to be the intending purchaser and is in possession, there being no dispute as regards the area agreed and the boundaries of the property agreed to be sold, the aspect of possession would have to be established by the Plaintiffs by leading appropriate evidence. 8. I do not find any infirmity in the said order. Accordingly, the Writ Petitions stand dismissed. Sd/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE PRS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 50
