ORDER
Heard the learned counsel for the writ petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for R1 to R9. Issuance of notice to R10 is dispensed with.
2. The petitioner alleges that there are encroachments in the channel that is adjacent to S.No.438/2B.
3. On going through the materials enclosed in the typed set of papers, the real dispute appears to be over use of a pathway. Be that as it may, the learned Government Advocate concedes that S.No.367 has been classified as “Periyakulam” and that there are encroachments therein. He states that not only the encroachment in Periyakulam will be cleared but also the encroachments found in the channel leading to the same.
4. Recording the aforesaid submission of the learned Government Advocate, the Writ Petition is disposed of . No costs.
