Admittedly, according to the petitioner he is a tenant of the property. The respondent is not a State for the purposes of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. Even otherwise, if the petitioner is having any right against the respondent and if he is of the opinion that the respondent is not entitled to having vacated him from the writ petition schedule property, then in that event, he is required to approach the Civil Court. The respondent being the owner of the property, is always entitled to have the tenant evicted in the manner known to law. 3. For the aforementioned reasons, the writ petition stands dismissed subject to the aforementioned observations. Sd/- (M.I.ARUN) JUDGE CHS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 4
