This Writ petition coming on for preliminary

following:
: ORDER :
The writ petition is filed in the nature of public interest, in substance, for removal of certain alleged 4 unauthorized temporary constructions in the Udupi town.
2. In the course of submission, Mr. Amruthesh. N.P., learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the occupants of such alleged unauthorized temporary constructions are migrated labourers from different States, who are engaged for the purpose of construction of multistoried building in the town. It is, also, stated that constructions have come up in the back side of the houses of some of the residents causing serious nuisance to them.
3. Virtually, by moving this application, a direction in the nature of writ of mandamus is asked for eviction of those persons. In their absence and without giving them an opportunity of hearing, we cannot pass any order in the writ petition in the nature of recovery of possession.

4. The writ petition is, therefore, summarily dismissed.
5. We make no order as to costs.
