Challenging the eviction notice dated 07.08.2026 issued by the third respondent, the present Writ Petition has been filed.
Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the materials available on record. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.

However, the petitioner is not in occupation of the lands comprised in Survey Nos.111 and 152/1. The petitioner is in occupation of the land comprised in Survey No.152/2, which, as per the remarks in the A-Register, is classified as “Kalam Veedu”.
