JUDGMENT
The writ petition is filed seeking the following
relief;
"(i) To issue a writ of mandamus or any other
appropriate writ, order on direction commanding the
respondents 1 to 3 to afford adequate and effective
protection to the petitioner for carrying out the
works of repairing and strengthening of the
compound wall to the Western side of his property,
from the interference of respondents 4 to 7 or
their men."
2. Ext.P2 is the judgment obtained by the petitioner
against the contesting respondents herein, in O.S.No.434
of 2020 of Munsiff Court, Aluva. The decretal portion WP(C) No.20633 OF 2023
therein is reads thus;
"In the result, the suit is decreed which costs
as follows:-
The defendants 1 and 2 and their men are restrained
by a permanent prohibitory injunction from trespassing
into the plaint scheduled property from enhancing the
width of the way lies on the western side of the
plaint schedule
property."
3. The petitioner contends that a portion of
the compound wall requires urgent repairs and that
the contesting respondents are obstructing from
doing the same.
4. Learned Counsel appearing for the contesting
respondents submitted that the compound wall in
question encroaches into a way. WP(C) No.20633 OF 2023
5. If there is any encroachment as alleged, it
is for them to take appropriate steps in accordance
with law and they are not entitled to obstruct the
repairing of the existing wall. The existence of the
wall was recognized by the Civil Court in O.S.No.434
of 2020.
6. In the light thereof, the 3rd respondent is
directed to provide adequate protection for the work
of repairing and strengthening of the compound wall
in question. However, it is clarified that, under
the guise of the said order, he shall not effect any
fresh construction encroaching into the disputed
way.
The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
