THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HIMA KOHLI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY
W.A.No.521 of 2020
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1. The appellant (4th respondent in W.P.No.17676 of 2020) is
aggrieved by the order dated 20.10.2020 passed by the learned Single Judge in a writ petition filed by the respondent No.1/writ petitioner praying inter alia for issuing a writ of mandamus to the respondents No.2 to 4 to take action against the appellant and his family members, on the basis of a complaint made by him on 27.08.2020.
2. The writ petition was disposed of by the learned Single Judge with liberty granted to the respondent No.1/writ petitioner to file an appropriate application before the Humayun Nagar Police Station for providing police protection to enforce a decree dated 28.01.1998 granted in his favour in O.S.No.5876 of 1994 by the learned VII Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad with a further direction to the respondent No.1 to specify the nature of protection required by him. Further, the Humayun Nagar police was directed that on receiving such a request, appropriate protection for implementing the aforesaid judgment and decree be granted to him.
3. The limited grievance of the appellant herein is that the relief granted in the impugned order is at variance with the prayer made by the respondent No.1/writ petitioner in W.P.No.17676 of 2020. Learned counsel clarifies that the captioned judgment and decree was given effect to in E.P.No.53 of 1998, which was closed on 13.10.1998 W.A.No.521 of 2020 Page 1 of 2 2 and therefore, there is no question of the police extending any protection to the respondent No.1 for implementation of the decree and judgment.
4. Learned counsel for the respondent No.1 does not deny the submission made by the other side that E.P.No.53 of 1998 stands disposed of upon enforcement of the judgment and decree dated 28.01.1998. He submits that he will be satisfied if directions are issued to the respondents No.2 to 4 to consider the complaint dated 27.08.2020 submitted by the respondent No.1/writ petitioner and take appropriate action thereon in accordance with law.
5. Learned counsel for the appellant states that he does not have objection to the said request.
6. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 28.10.2020 passed in W.P.No.17676 of 2020 is quashed and set aside. With the consent of the parties, the present appeal is disposed of, along with the pending applications, if any, with a direction issued to the respondent No.3/police to examine the complaint dated 27.08.2020 submitted by the respondent No.1 and take appropriate action thereon, as contemplated in law.
