THIS PETITION COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY
HEARING IN 'B' GROUP THIS DAY THROUGH PHYSICAL
HEARING, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:-
ORDER
The short grievance of the petitioner is as to
alleged encroachment of her land by the respondent-
Corporation. Learned counsel for the petitioner points
out that there is already a status - quo order granted by
a Coordinate Bench of this Court in pending RFA
No.1802/2012 concerning the very same property.
2. Learned Panel Counsel appearing for the
respondent - Corporation having opposed the writ
petition for some time, now fairly submits that the
officials of the Corporation will not barge into subject
property of the petitioner in view of the interim order
granted by the Coordinate Bench as mentioned above.
Learned AGA appearing for Respondents Nos. 1 & 3
submits that police went to the spot in question on the
request of the Corporation officials so that no law & order
problem would arise and that police as such do not have
any interest in the subject matter of the dispute.
In view of the above, this writ petition need not be
retained on the file any longer since there is an
assurance from the side of Corporation as to maintaining
the status quo in terms of the interim order granted by
the Coordinate Bench in the pending RFA. It is open to
the respondent-Corporation to seek its impleadment in
the said RFA if there is a case for that.
With the above observations, this writ petition is
disposed off, making it clear that this judgment is
confined to the properties described in the schedule to
the petition.
No costs.
