IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.TUKARAMJI WRIT PETITION No.27622 OF 2019 DATE: 23.02.2026 Between :

P. Solomon Praveen.

… Petitioner AND The State of Telangana rep by its Principal Secretary Home Department Secretariat Hyderabad and another.

… Respondents.

O R D E R

This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:

“…To issue an appropriate Writ, Order or Direction, more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the respondent No. 2, herein in sending the constables to the petitioners and his family property in Sy. no. 293 and 294, admeasuring Ac. 1-22 Guntas and Ac. 2-33 Guntas respectively totally admeasuring Ac. 4-15 Guntas, situate at Gagan Pahad Village, Rajendernagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, and calling me to the police station, thereby causing interference in the civil matters/disputes without any authority or jurisdiction, as being illegal, arbitrary, unconstitutional and violative of Article 21 and 300-A of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondent No. 2, herein and his sub-ordinates not to interfere in the petitioners and his family property in Sy. no. 293 and 294, admeasuring Ac. 1-22 Guntas and Ac. 2- 33 Guntas respectively totally admeasuring Ac. 4- 15 Guntas, situate at Gagan Pahad Village, Rajendernagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District…..”

2. None appeared on behalf of the petitioner.

3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submits that the allegations that respondent No. 2 is interfering with the petition schedule property and summoning the petitioner to the police station in relation to civil disputes, without authority or jurisdiction, are wholly unfounded. It is further contended that the respondent-police authorities are acting strictly within the bounds of law and in discharge of their lawful duties. As the allegations are not supported by any substantive material, it is submitted that the writ petition is devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed.

4. I have perused the material available on record.

5. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No. 2 is interfering in the civil disputes relating to the petition schedule property without lawful authority. Having considered the averments made in the affidavit and bearing in mind the well-settled limitations on the role of police authorities in purely civil disputes, this Court deems it appropriate to direct respondent No. 2 to refrain from interfering in the civil disputes of the petitioner pertaining to the petition schedule property.

6. However, it is made clear that this direction shall not preclude the respondent-police authorities from taking action strictly in accordance with law, within the scope of their statutory powers, and by following due process.

7. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the Writ Petition, shall stand closed.
