15.07.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

JUDGMENT

Dated this the 15^th day of July, 2024 The grievance of the petitioner is that, in spite of his clear title over the property, the Police is stopping him from removing the trees cut down from the property. The petitioner alleges that the harassment is at the instance of the 3^rd respondent.

2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the Police had only gone to the petitioner’s property, on receiving a complaint from the 3^rd respondent and they have no intention to interfere with any civil dispute.

The writ petition is hence disposed of, recording the submission of the learned Government Pleader that the Police has no intention of interfering with the civil dispute between the petitioner and the 3^rd respondent.

Needless to say, the Police will be at liberty to act, if the dispute leads to any law and order situation.
