 WP(C) NO. 18850 OF 2021


                                      -2-



                                 JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this Court

alleging that respondent No.2 is illegally

interfering with his rights to own his property and

to cut and remove the trees therefrom, under the

influence of respondents 3 and 4. The petitioner

explains that there were certain disputes between

him and respondents 3 and 4 in the past, but that

they have already been resolved in his favour

through the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court,

which was delivered as early as on 31.08.2018. He

submits that, inspite of this, 2nd respondent is now

harassing him not to cut and remove the trees from

his own property and thus prays that he be directed

not to do so.

           2.         The        afore            submissions          of

Shri.Sreekumar              Chelur,     learned    counsel    for     the

petitioner,               were    vehementally            refuted      by

Shri.E.C.Bineesh-the              learned       Government    Pleader,
 WP(C) NO. 18850 OF 2021






submitting that              Police had not and do not intend

to involve themselves in any civil disputes between

private citizens; and that in this case, the truth

is that a complaint had been received from

respondents 3 and 4, with respect to the property

owned by the petitioner. He submitted that when

enquiries were made, it was found that civil

disputes between the parties with respect to the

same had been resolved and therefore, the police do

not now require to make any further enquiry against

the petitioner in future, nor to call him to the

Police Station. He added that petitioner has not

been yet arraigned as an accused in any complaint

filed by respondents 3 and 4 with respect to the

property in question.

3. Taking note of the afore submissions

and recording the same, I close this writ petition,

since no further orders are necessary for the

protection of the petitioner. WP(C) NO. 18850 OF 2021

In the afore circumstance, this writ

petition is closed, recording the afore submissions

of the learned Government Pleader.
