very eloquent submissions before this Court in the appeal. Sri B. Ravindranath, learned AGA though has been briefed, but very effective in his submissions.
3. This Intra Court appeal has been filed impugning the order dated 19.12.2025 passed in Writ Petition No. 18757/2018 filed by the appellant. The Writ Petition was instituted by the petitioner No.2/appellant impugning the order dated 03.03.2018 passed by the Land Tribunal in LRM/II/A-8/78-79. The Land Tribunal after examining the evidence brought on record as well as the spot inspection found that the petitioner No.2/appellant was not in possession of the land in question as a tenants before 01.03.1974 and even thereafter. The Writ Court has affirmed the order passed by the Land Tribunal and dismissed the Writ Petition. We find no reason to interfere with the well reasoned judgment and order passed by learned Single Judge. Therefore, the writ appeal stands dismissed.
