This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking writ of Mandamus directing the respondents not to seal, confiscate the Bhumidhari land in Khata Khatauni No.32 Khasra No.113 Mi. admeasuring 1125 sqaure feets and not to take any other coercive measure actions including sealing, confiscating etc. in the aforesaid land without hearing the petitioners and adopting due process of law.
