The petitioners grievance is about the issuance of the possession notice and also non-consideration of the application made in S.A.No.176/2026. The relief sought by the petitioners cannot be granted under writ jurisdiction. The Apex Court has settled the law in catena of decisions that the possession notice cannot be questioned by filing a writ petition. Furthermore, the interim order granted by the DRT has been vacated by virtue of an order dated 24.04.2026. The petitioner has not questioned the said order. As already noted above, the relief sought by the petitioner cannot be granted under writ jurisdiction. The petition is devoid of merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is rejected.
