It is seen that what is challenged in the instant writ petition is the notice issued by the respondents calling upon the petitioners to vacate their illegal occupation of the property. No person has a right to illegally occupy Government property. However, such person has to be dispossessed in the manner known to law. 4. Hence, the respondents are directed to dispossess the petitioners in the manner known to law and not otherwise. Subject to the said observations, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. 5. In view of disposal of the writ petition, pending I.A.s, if any, does not survive for consideration. SD/- (M.I.ARUN) JUDGE CH List No.: 1 Sl No.: 68
