2. Heard Sri V.Raghunath, learned Senior Counsel, representing learned counsel for the petitioner on record and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 5. Perused the record.
3. Learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had earlier filed W.P. No. 4630 of 2024 before this Court seeking similar relief in respect of another subject property. The 3 Coordinate Bench of this Court, in the said writ petition, recorded the written instructions of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home to the effect that a complaint was lodged by the son of respondent No. 4 therein on 13.09.2023. Based on the said complaint, F.I.R. No. 294 of 2023 was registered under Sections 447 and 427 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code against the petitioner's father and two others.
3.1. It was further stated that notices under Section 41-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure were issued to the accused, and upon completion of the investigation, respondent No.3 filed a charge sheet, which was taken on file as C.C. No. 774 of 2024 on 16.03.2024 by the Court of the learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-XIII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Rajendranagar. The Coordinate Bench, having recorded that respondent No.3 had not interfered in the civil disputes with regard to the subject land therein except for conducting the investigation in the above crime, disposed of the said writ petition, observing that no further orders were required to be passed.
43.2. Learned Senior Counsel further submits that admittedly civil court proceedings are pending in a suit instituted by the petitioner, being O.S. No. 313 of 2022, on the file of the learned Junior Civil Judge at Chevella, wherein respondent No. 6 in the present writ petition is also arrayed as a party defendant.
3.3. While so, he submits that, all of a sudden, respondent No. 4 attempted to forcibly evict the petitioner from her possession and enjoyment of agricultural land admeasuring Ac. 1.29 guntas in Sy. No. 72/F, situated at Aziznagar Village and Grampanchayat, Moinabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District (hereinafter referred to as the "subject property"), approximately twenty days ago, and threatened the petitioner and her family members with dire consequences at the behest of the unofficial respondent. Aggrieved thereby, the present writ petition has been filed.
3.4. He vehemently contends that respondent No. 4 ought not to have interfered with the personal life and liberty of the petitioner, nor ought to have threatened the petitioner with eviction from the subject property, particularly when inter se civil disputes are pending between the petitioner and the unofficial respondent. In support of his 5 contentions he relied upon the photographs enclosed along with the writ affidavit where the police officers are seen. Hence, seek to pass appropriate orders.
4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, upon furnishing instructions of the Sub-Inspector of Police, Moinabad Police Station, Future City Commissionerate, dated 24.03.2026, submits that on a complaint made by one Anthamgari Mallesh, who is not a party before this Court, on 25.01.2026, a crime was registered vide Cr. No. 53 of 2026 under Sections 329(3), 115(2), and 352 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the petitioner's father and others, and the investigation has been entrusted to the Sub-Inspector of Police.
4.1. During the course of investigation, for the purpose of conducting the necessary enquiry, the official respondents, except for conducting such enquiry, have neither interfered in the civil disputes between the petitioner and the unofficial respondent nor interfered with the possession and enjoyment of the subject property, as alleged by the petitioner. Stating so, he would seek to pass appropriate orders. 6
5. Having heard learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home and upon perusal of the material on record, including the instructions of respondent No.4, since it has been stated that except conducting investigation in Cr.No.53 of 2026, official respondents are not interfering with the possession of enjoyment of the subject property, without going into the merits and demerits of the case, this writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
