The petitioners in this writ petition are challenging the notices dated 08.05.2026 (Annexures-A - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010505832026 NC: 2026:KHC:42780 WP No. 23206 of 2026 and B) and 29.05.2026 (Annexure-C) issued by the respondent No.2/Tahsildar. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that, the petitioners have not been heard before issuing any eviction notices as per Annexures-A, B and C, and therefore the respondents No.2 and 3 are directed to conduct spot inspection and survey of the land in question on 11.09.2022 at 11.00 a.m. in the presence of the petitioners, and thereafter, take decision, in event, if any, government kaluve has been encroached by the petitioners. 4. In that view of the matter, the petitioners are directed to be present at the time of the survey along with any relevant documents, to enable respondent Nos.2 and 3 to take an appropriate decision in the matter. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010505832026 NC: 2026:KHC:42780 WP No. 23206 of 2026 Till the consideration of the same, the respondents are restrained from taking any coercive steps against the petitioners in respect of the subject land.
