IN THE HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATI
Y. Lakshmana Rao, J
Yadavalli Parvathi – Appellant
Versus
State of Andhra Pradesh – Respondent
WRIT PETITION NO: 9149/2026



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Jhansi Guduru
For the Respondents: GP For Home, P. Ajay Babu

The court held that police authorities must provide necessary assistance to Court Amins for the execution of civil decrees to ensure judicial efficacy and prevent decrees from becoming illusory, particularly when the decree holder faces obstruction from judgment debtors.

Headnote:(A) Writ of Mandamus - Execution of Decree - Police Assistance - Failure of police authorities to provide aid to Court Amin despite judicial orders is an abdication of duty that frustrates the execution of a lawful decree and undermines judicial efficacy. (Para 3, 4)

(B) Rule of Law - Sanctity of Judicial Orders - The intervention of the High Court is imperative to ensure that decrees of competent civil courts do not remain illusory and that the fruits of the decree are realized by the decree holder. (Para 5)

Issues: Whether the police authorities can be directed to provide necessary aid and protection to the Court Amin for the execution of a delivery warrant issued by a Civil Court.

2. Heard the learned Counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader.

3. Smt. Jhansi Guduru, learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner, having obtained a lawful decree of possession in O.S.No.92 of 2015, is constrained to invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution, owing to the persistent and contumacious inaction of Respondent Nos.3, 4, and 5. Despite categorical judicial directions in E.A.Nos.43, 77, and 148 of 2025, coupled with repeated issuance of delivery warrants, the statutory authorities have abdicated their bounden duty to render police assistance to the Court Amin. Such dereliction not only frustrates the solemn decree dated 28.11.2024 but also strikes at the very root of judicial efficacy, rendering nugatory the execution process envisaged under Order XXI of ‘the C.P.C.’ The Petitioner, though armed with a decree and successive orders, continues to be unlawfully dispossessed, her entitlement thwarted by the recalcitrance of the Judgment Debtors and the apathy of the police machinery.

4. Learned Counsel for the Petitioner further submits that the conduct of Respondent Nos.3, 4, and 5 amounts to a flagrant violation of constitutional and statutory obligations. The Execution Court, in its wisdom, has repeatedly directed the provision of police aid, recognizing the obstructions and threats posed by the Judgment Debtors. Yet, the Respondents have deliberately failed to act, thereby facilitating continued illegal occupation of the Suit Schedule Property. Such inaction is not merely administrative indifference but constitutes contemptuous disregard of judicial orders, undermining the majesty of law and eroding public confidence in the justice delivery system.

Learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner has endured humiliation, physical assault upon her husband, and repeated indignities, all documented in the reports of the Court Amin, yet the Respondents remain unmoved.

5. In these circumstances, learned
