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.
