SRI E.C BINEESH-GOVERNMENT PLEADER
THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
01.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 16891 OF 2020

JUDGMENT
When this writ petition was considered on 18.08.2020, an
interim order was issued in the following manner:
"Notice before admission to the respondents. The learned Government Pleader takes notice for respondent Nos.1 and 2. Issue urgent notice by speed post to respondent Nos.3 and 4.
I have heard Sri.Sreekumar Chelur, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader.
Having regard to the facts, there will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to ensure that law and order is maintained and if requested for, to provide adequate protection to the life and property of the petitioner herein and other members of his family from any incursions by respondents 3 and 4."
2. It has been over one year after the afore order and
when this matter was called today, the learned counsel for the
parties are ad idem that no violation of law or infraction of peace
had occurred during the time when the interim order was in force.
In fact, Sri.Sreekumar Chelur - learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner, prayed that the afore interim order be confirmed. WP(C) NO. 16891 OF 2020
3. Taking note of the afore submissions and since the
interim order directs the 2nd respondent to ensure that law and
order is maintained and to afford effective and adequate
protection, in case any complaints are made by the petitioner, I
deem it appropriate to accede to the request of Sri.Sreekumar
Chelur.
4. I, however, record the submissions of Sri.C.A.Anoop,
learned counsel for the party respondent that the afore interim
order of this Court has been wrongly used by the petitioner to
obtain possession of the building and property in question and he,
therefore, prayed that same be not confirmed.
5. Even when I hear Sri.C.A.Anoop as afore, the facts
remain, as seen above, that the interim order only directs the 2 nd
respondent to ensure that law and order is maintained and to
afford adequate protection to the life and property of the
petitioner, if any complaint is made by him as regards respondents
3 and 4. Therefore, if this interim order has been misused by the
petitioner in any manner, it is up to respondents 3 and 4 to take WP(C) NO. 16891 OF 2020
necessary action against him by appropriate means; and I do not
think that it will be justified for this Court to keep this writ
petition pending for that reason.
In the afore circumstances, leaving open all liberties to
respondents 3 and 4, I order this writ petition, directing the 2 nd
respondent to ensure that lives of the petitioner, as well as of the
party respondents, are adequately protected from each other and
that none of them are allowed to violate law or to commit any
action which will have the effect of infraction of peace in the area
in question; and to take necessary action quickly and swiftly, if
any such attempt is made, whether on the compliant of the parties
or otherwise.
Needless to say, I have not dealt with the merits of the
claims of the parties with respect to the properties in question and
all of them are left open to be pursued appropriately before the
competent Forum. Sd/-
