Dated this the 11th day of January, 2023
JUDGMENT
This Contempt of Court Case has been filed on the
allegation that, in spite of the directions of this Court, the 2 nd
respondent - Sub Inspector of Police, Mannancherry Police
Station, is refusing to offer protection to the petitioners, even
though respondents 3 and 4 are violating the orders of the Civil
Court issued against them and are entering the property in
question without any authority.
2. For the record, the 3rd respondent appeared in person
and since he submitted that he has no resources to engage a
counsel, I requested Sri.Deepu Lal Mohan to assist this Court as
Amicus Curiae.
3. Sri.Deepu Lal Mohan, submitted that, as a matter of
fact, the 3rd respondent has no access to his house, other than
through the way in question. He, however, conceded that he
has suffered Exts.P3 and P4 judgments, which have now become
final.
Con.Case (C) No. 1336 of 2022
4. Going by the judgment in question, I had directed the 2 nd
respondent herein to protect the lives and properties of the
petitioners and to always maintain law and order.
5. The learned Government Pleader - Smt.Parvathy Kottol,
submitted that, 2nd respondent is ensuring that the directions
are fully complied with and that any further action as required,
will also be implemented, if so required.
6. As I have already said above, the 3 rd respondent
concedes that Exts.P3 and P4 judgments are against him.
Therefore, unless he is able to have the same reversed, he
cannot act in its violation.
In the afore circumstances, I close this Contempt Case;
recording the afore submissions of the learned Government
Pleader and further directing the 2 nd respondent to ensure that
the lives and properties of the petitioners are protected from
any action by respondents 3 and 4 herein, in violation of the
Civil Court judgments.
To paraphrase, if the 3rd respondent acts contrary to any
declaration of law by the competent Civil Court, it will be up to
the petitioner to approach the 2 nd respondent appositely; in
which event, necessary action will be taken.
I also leave liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court Con.Case (C) No. 1336 of 2022
again, if so required in future, if these directions are in any
manner, not complied with.
I conclude this judgment recording this Court's deep
appreciation for Sri.Deepu Lal Mohan, who offered assistance in
the highest traditions of the legal profession.
