4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on written instructions, submits that Crime No. 596 of 2025 has been registered against the petitioner, and except for the purposes of investigation, there has been no reason to contact with the petitioner. It is therefore contended that the petitioner’s allegation that respondent No. 2 is interfering with his possession over the land mentioned in the petition is without any basis, and in the absence of any acceptable material to substantiate the same, the petition is liable to be dismissed.

5. Learned counsel appearing for respondents Nos. 3 and 4 submits that the land referred to in the petition is agricultural land and not a plot, and that the petitioner has been in possession thereof since 2017, with all relevant revenue records standing in his name. However, it is further contended that the allegation of interference by respondents Nos. 3 and 4 is baseless, as they are in possession of the said property. It is further submitted that the other allegations made in the petition are without any foundation.

Hence, dismissal of the petition has been sought.
