This Writ Petition (C) is filed seeking the following reliefs:

" i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writs, orders or directions, directing the 1^st and 2^nd respondents to afford adequate, effective and meaningful Police protection to the petitioner from the party respondents and their henchmen to carry out the construction on the basis of Exhibit P5 building permit".

[SIC]

2. When this writ petition came up for consideration on 06.03.2025, this Court passed the following order:

" The Service is complete.

2. On a consideration of the facts and the materials placed on record, particularly in view of Ext. P5 building permit granted in favour of the petitioner, I am satisfied that the petitioner is entitled to an ad-interim order. Hence, I direct the second respondent to afford adequate police protection to the petitioner to carry out the construction work in the petitioner’s property as per Ext. P5 building permit against any threat on the part of the 3 to 5 and their men. However, the second respondent shall not interfere in any civil dispute between the petitioner and the respondents 3 to 5.

Post after four weeks.

3. Thereafter, when the matter came up for consideration on 18.03.2025, this Court passed the following order:

" I have gone through the writ petition and the counter afÏdavit filed by the party respondents. In view of Exts.P2 to P5 documents produced by the petitioner and the absence of documents to show the party respondent have possession of the property, I am not satisfied that the interim order is to be recalled.

2. Hence, the interim order dated 06.03.2025 is extended by three months. However, it is made clear that the second respondent shall not interfere in any civil dispute between the petitioner and the respondents 3 to 5.

Post after summer holidays."

4. In the light of the above orders, I think, no further direction is necessary. This writ petition can be disposed of retaining the above orders. But, I make it clear that, the 2^nd respondent shall not interfere in any civil disputes between the petitioner and respondents 3 to 5, and if there is any dispute regarding the title of the property, the same is to be redressed before the appropriate civil court in accordance with law.

With the above observations, this Writ Petition is disposed of retaining the orders dated 06.03.2025 and 18.03.2025.
