9 ORDER

Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioners have challenged the order of the second respondent dated 06.07.2016 inter alia seeking a direction to the respondents to return the unutilized land to the petitioners. 3. Learned counsel for the second respondent – Committee would point out that in the earlier round of litigation in W.P.Nos.13476-13516/1999, the petitioners having suffered an order had preferred writ appeals in W.A.Nos.2004122014 and 200427-490/2014, which came to be dismissed, confirming the order of the learned Single Judge. In view of the same, the petitioners approaching again for the same relief is unsustainable. Accordingly, seeks for dismissal of the writ petitions.

10 4. These submissions are not refuted by the learned counsel for the petitioners. 5. In view of the aforesaid, this Court has no other option except to come to an irresistible conclusion that the writ petitions are not maintainable and deserve to be dismissed. Accordingly, writ petitions are dismissed. Sd/- JUDGE Srt
