JUDGMENT
Dated this the 27th day of July, 2022
This writ petition is filed seeking directions to the police to
provide adequate protection to the life as well as the properties of
the petitioner.
2. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the
petitioner that the contesting party respondents are causing threat
and nuisance to the life of the petitioner as well as to his
properties and that criminal complaints have been filed against the
party respondents including the 10th respondent and that FIRs
have also been registered against them.
3. The learned counsel appearing for respondents 3 to 8
would contend that there are civil suits pending with regard to the
property in question and that the issues raised in the civil suits
may be left open to be decided by the competent civil courts.
In the above view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed
of directing that in case of any overt acts by respondents 3 to 8,
9 or 10 against the life the petitioner or his family members, the
petitioner may approach the Station House Officer, who shall
afford adequate protection to the life of the petitioner. However all
other issues are left open to be decided in the civil suits pending
between the parties.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
