The petitioners have agitated before this Court that as a matter of fact they were and are owners in possession of the relevant parcel of land but respondents Nos.1 to 3 and respondents Nos.4 to 6 had colluded with each other for depriving the petitioners of their possession through filing a collusive complaint under the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005. The said stand of the petitioners has vehemently been contested by the learned counsel for respondents Nos. 1 to 3 as well as the learned counsel for respondents Nos.4 to 6.
