It is alleged that the said Raghuram, along with his henchmen, trespassed into the petitioner’s property and disturbed her peaceful possession. Therefore, the petitioner has sent a representation dated 15.11.2025 to the first respondent Police. Since no action has been taken by the respondent Police, the present petition has been filed.
