This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the

“…To issue any appropriate writ, order or direction

one more particularly one in the nature of Writ of

the Constitution of India and consequently direct

the Respondent No.4 and his officers not to

interfere with the above property of the Petitioner

in any manner………….”

2. Ms. A. Rupa Devi, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of

Mr. C. Naresh Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioner, submits

that the present petition has been filed on the ground that

respondent No. 4 is interfering with the peaceful possession and

enjoyment of the petition-mentioned plot. She further submits that

this Court, by an interim order dated 25.09.2019, restrained

respondent No. 4 from interfering with the peaceful possession

and enjoyment of the petitioner’s property mentioned in the

petition, except in accordance with law, and that the said interim

direction has effectively redressed the grievance of the petitioner.

Accordingly, she prays that the interim order be made absolute.

3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submits

that the allegation of interference with the possession of the

petition-mentioned property is without any substance. He further

submits that the respondent police authorities have been

conducting themselves strictly within the bounds of law and have

3

not interfered in the civil disputes or with the possession of the

petitioner, as alleged. It is also submitted that the police

authorities are scrupulously complying with the interim order

passed by this Court. Accordingly, he prays for the passing of

appropriate orders.

4. I have perused the material placed on record.

5. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No. 4 is

interfering with his possession over the petition mentioned

property. Having regard to the assertions made by the petitioner,

the stand taken by the respondent police authorities, and the

settled limitations on police intervention in civil disputes,

respondent No. 4 is directed to refrain from interfering with the

possession of the petitioner over the petition mentioned property,

save and except strictly in accordance with law and by following

due process.

6. With this direction, this petition is disposed of. Pending

miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. No order

as to costs.
