From perusal of the order sheet, it is apparent that the matter is being examined by the Special Court and final orders are yet to be passed. The contention of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is that he had lawfully entered into the property in dispute and as such the provisions of the Act would not apply to the land in question. 4. Be that as it may, as stated by learned counsel appearing for the respondent, no final decision has yet been taken by the Special Court. That being the case, given the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:30698-DB WP No. 6274 of 2025 facts and circumstances, we decline to interfere in the matter and the petition is therefore dismissed.
