Certain history to the subject litigation is necessary to be noticed. 3. A petition in public interest was filed in Writ Petition No.53846 of 2015. The Division Bench passes the following order: “Mr.R.Devdas, learned principal government advocate, appears and submits that the property that has been encroached belongs to Kurekuppe Gram Panchayath. He submits that Kurekuppe Gram Panchayath having not been made a party in the writ petition, no useful direction could be passed in the writ petition. 2. We, therefore, feel that liberty may be granted to the writ petitioners to submit a representation to the Secretary, Kurekuppe Gram Panchayath, ventilating their grievances. 3. If such a representation is made, the said Secretary is directed to consider and dispose of the representation within three months from the date of submission of such representation, after giving opportunities of hearing to all concerned in the matter. 4. The writ petition stands disposed of. We make no order as to costs.” 4. The learned Principal Government Advocate then had made a submission that the encroached property belongs to Kurekoppa Gram Panchayath and would submit that liberty was then granted to submit a representation and the representation is said to have been submitted by the petitioners therein which is also appended on 18.03.2016. Pursuant to the said order and the representation so made, an order is passed by the Deputy Commissioner, Ballari on 22.08.2016. The order of the Deputy Commissioner reads as follows: 5.
