Court affirms the right to peaceful property construction and mandates police protection against obstruction.

JUDGMENT

This writ petition is filed seeking police protection to carry on the construction of a compound wall and gates in petitioners properties without any obstruction or hindrance from respondents 5 to 10.

2. On 28.11.2025, an interim order was issued directing that the petitioners shall not to be put to any physical harm by respondents 5 to 10 or their men. In the meantime, the service on the party respondents have been completed, and none appears.

3. A reading of the writ petition reveals that petitioners are attempting to construct a compound wall and gate in the southern boundary of their property, which is abutting a public road to safeguard it from other encroachers. The contention raised by the petitioners is that the respondents 5 to 10 are opposing the said construction. As noted above, despite service of notice, there is no appearance on behalf of respondents 5 to 10, which clearly indicates that they have no objection to allowing the reliefs claimed in the writ petition.

4. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions submitted that based on the complaint by the petitioners, respondents 5 to 10 have already been warned and that, at present, no obstructions are caused by the party respondents. Having regard to the above circumstance, I am of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of with a direction.

5. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the 4th respondent to afford adequate and effective police protection to the petitioners to construct a compound wall and gate in their property in accordance with law, without any obstruction from respondents 5 to 10. If in case any obstruction is caused by the said respondents, the 4th respondent shall initiate appropriate action to avert such obstructions.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
