This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of Constitution of India seeking the following relief/s:- “…to issue a Writ, Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the Respondents.

No. 283 situated at Bandarigudem, Manuguru Municipality, Khammam District with pressure of the unofficial respondents without following due process of law as illegal, arbitrary and against the principles of natural justice and also violation of Articles 14, 19, 21 and 300-A of Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents not to dispossess or interference with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioners house in the interest of justice and to pass such other order or orders as this. Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice...”
2. Heard Mr.R.Laxmikanth Reddy, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that respondent Nos.2 and 3 are attempting to dispossess the petitioners from their house property without following due process of law, and therefore, the present petition has been filed.
4. The learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that no crime has been registered against the petitioners, and the respondent-Police are not interfering with their possession of the house property. He further submitted that the alleged involvement of the Police in civil matters is unsupported by any material, and that the Police are in no manner interfering with the civil disputes, as alleged in the petition. Accordingly, he prayed for dismissal of the petition.
5. I have perused the material on record.
6. Having considered the submissions of both sides, and in view of the statement of the respondent-Police authorities that no crime has been registered against the petitioners, this Court finds that the issue of dispossession from the house property squarely falls within the domain of civil jurisdiction. Accordingly, the respondent-Police authorities are directed not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners or with any civil dispute relating to the property, save and except in strict accordance with law.
7. With this direction, this writ petition is disposed of.
There shall be no order as to costs.
Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
