4. Per contra, learned Government Pleader Home appearing on behalf of official respondents would submit that the 7^th respondent herein had approached the authorities on 07.07.2025 and lodged a complaint claiming that there is an order of injunction granted by the competent Court of jurisdiction in OS.No.653/2020 vide order dt.13.03.2024; and that the petitioners herein have trespassed into their land illegally despite the subsistence of the injunction order and are digging holes and erecting precast walls therein; and thus sought for initiation of action against the writ petitioners.

5. Learned Government Pleader further submits that the respondents-authorities on receiving the aforesaid complaint from the 7^th respondent herein had made a GD entry and caused preliminary enquiry; and as the preliminary enquiry revealed the dispute to be relating to land being claimed by the petitioners and the complainant/unofficial respondent No.7 herein, being a subject matter of a suit vide O.S.No.653/2020, wherein an injunction order granted by the trial Court in favour of the unofficial respondent Nos.7 to 9 herein/plaintiffs having been vacated in CMA.No.1 of 2023 preferred by some of the defendants in the suit, the respondents-authorities have closed the aforesaid complaint as “civil in nature” on 14.07.2024.

6. Learned Government Pleader further submits that the respondents-authorities, except causing preliminary enquiry into the aforesaid complaint lodged by the 7th respondent herein, are not interfering in any civil disputes that may exist between the petitioners and the unofficial respondents herein or directed the petitioners not to proceed with the construction on account of subsistence of injunction, as claimed.

7. The aforesaid submission made by the learned Government Pleader for Home is taken on record.

8. Having regard to the submissions made as above and since, in the present writ petition, though the petitioners have alleged the action of the 3^rd and 4^th respondents in interfering with the construction activity being undertaken by them, since, the respondents-authorities having categorically asserted before this Court of the authorities not interfering in the civil disputes existing in respect of the subject property, this Court is of the view that the respondents-authorities are to be directed not to interfere in the civil disputes that may exist between the petitioners and the unofficial respondents herein or in relation to the subject land, except in accordance with law.

9. Further, it is made clear that this Court is not expressing any opinion on the claim of the petitioners with regard to the construction being undertaken by them pursuant to the permissions obtained from the municipal authorities during the subsistence of injunction order granted in OS.No.653/2020, and in the event any alleged violation of such injunction order, the unofficial respondents are at liberty to take further action in accord
