3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit
that a right has been conferred by virtue of the Judgment of this Court to
use the pathway, however, somebody is preventing the petitioner to use
the said pathway. Hence, the petitioner gave a complaint to the police,
however, they have not taken any action. Therefore, the present
contempt petition is filed.
4.This Court is of the view that since the contempt petition is filed
in the Second Appeal, the only remedy available to the petitioner is
before the civil Court by filing appropriate Execution Petition. Further, it
is seen that in the Judgment of the Second Appeal, no direction was
issued to the official respondents, namely, respondents 9 to 11. If the
petitioner wants police protection, after filing the execution petition, if he
seeks police protection by filing appropriate application in the execution
proceedings, the Execution Court will consider the same on merits.
Therefore, this Court is of the view that there is no need for entertaining
the present contempt petition. Hence, the contempt petition SR(MD)No.
44381 of 2023 is dismissed as not maintainable.
