The learned counsel for the respondent submits that the reason for cancellation of the proposed extension of lease was due to the fact that the petitioner has put up additional construction without the leave of the respondent who is the owner of the property. 4. The learned counsel for the respondent further submits that in order to take possession of the lease premises, the respondent has instituted OS.No.94/2025 before the Civil Judge and JMFC, Kushalnagar and the petitioner herein who is arrayed as defendant in the said suit is participating in the said proceedings. 5. Accordingly, the learned counsel for the respondent seeks for dismissal of the writ petition in view of the respondent initiating the suit for recovery of possession. 6. The learned counsel for the petitioner has also produced the copy of the suit summons issued in the aforesaid suit. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010720932024 NC: 2026:KHC:55285 WP No. 33798 of 2024 7. In the light of the fact that the respondent has initiated proceedings for recovery of possession in the manner known to law, the apprehension of the petitioner that the petitioner would be dispossessed without due process of law no longer subsists. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner as well as the respondent to work out their remedies in the pending suit. All the contentions of both the parties are kept open to be considered in the pending suit. Sd/- (T.P.VIVEKANANDA) JUDGE PB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 49
