2. Learned counsel for fourth respondent, on instructions, submitted that in 2019 itself, action was taken by locking and sealing the premises.

However, on 14.07.2025, the premises has been re-sealed since no rectification was done.

3. We are of the opinion that the present writ petition is absolutely misconceived. Therefore, the same cannot be entertained. Accordingly, it is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
