from the Tahsildar, submits that the respondents have no objection for the use of the land as 'Pavadi' by the petitioner, however, as the petitioner has fenced the land, it causes difficulty and inconvenience to the villagers and that may be removed. It is accepted by the learned Special Government Pleader that in the writ subject land, no pathway exists.
5. The petitioner is entitled to use the subject writ land as 'Pavadi' and the respondents have no objection for the same. The petitioner shall remove the fencing and that will put an end to the dispute and the petitioner may use the subject writ land as 'Pavadi'. The same is also accepted by the respondents.
With this observation, the writ petition is disposed of. There will be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
