HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI
WRIT PETITION No. 16627 of 2022
O R D E R:
This Writ Petition is filed questioning the action of
the 2nd respondent in not implementing the judgment passed in
O.S.No. 24 of 2018 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge at
Suryapet, dated 19.02.2019, granting permanent injunction
restraining Respondents 3 and 4 from interfering with the
agricultural land in Survey No. 142/2 in an extent of Ac.1.0750,
Survey No. 142/1 in an extent of Ac.1.0750, Survey No.
231/4/2, in an extent of Ac.0.2550, in Survey No. 231/4/1 in
an extent of Ac.0.2550, Survey No. 231/2/3 in an extent of
Ac.0.2700, Survey No. 260/1 in an extent of Ac.1.10, total
extent of Acs. 5.23 guntas situated at Kasarlapahad Village,
Arvapally Mandal by extending police aid.
2. Sri D.Y.N.L.N. Charyulu, learned counsel for the
petitioner submits that the petitioner has filed the suit against
Respondents 3 and 4 for declaration of title and perpetual
injunction. As the subject lands are patta lands, the revenue
department has issued title in favour of the petitioner. It is
stated that the said suit is decreed declaring that the petitioner
and Smt.Vemula Ilamma are absolute owners and possessors of
the lands and restraining Respondents 3 and 4 from interfering
with the possession of the property. It is stated that the said
decree has become final and no appeal is preferred against the
said order. It is also stated that as the petitioner failed to
cultivate the land in view of the interference of the official
respondents, he has approached the 2nd respondent to extend
help and implement the decree. Learned counsel submits that
as the respondents failed to take any action, the petitioner is
constrained to approach this Court.
3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home
Sri S. Ramamohana Rao, on instructions, submits that in a way
the petitioner is seeking execution of the decree and for
executing a civil Court's decree, there is a procedure available
before the Court. He submits that under Order 39 Rules 1 and
2 C.P.C., the trial Court has no power to execute the decree and
when there is an effective alternative remedy available to the
petitioner, he cannot approach this Court for the said purpose.
He also relied on the judgment of this Court in Writ Appeal No.
38 of 2022, wherein by order dated 28.01.2022, having
considered the judgment in Satyanarayana Tiwari v. S.H.O.
P.S. Santhoshnagar1, this Court has still held that the
AIR 1982 AP 394
appellant has an effective alternative remedy to approach the
trial Court and make an appropriate Application seeking
execution of the decree.
5. In this case, the civil Court has decreed the suit
filed by the petitioner on 19.02.2019 and the 5th respondent
who is the wife of the 3rd respondent herein is not a party to the
said suit. When the suit is filed in the year 2019 and without
filing execution petition, they seek police protection to
implement the decree. If the execution petition is filed before the
Court, if a third party is in possession of the property, they have
a remedy to file a claim petition under Order 21 Rule 97 C.P.C.
and the Court will decide the rights of the said petitioner after
giving an opportunity and if the said claim petition is dismissed,
he has a remedy to file an Appeal against the judgment and
decree. The Court below will have an opportunity to look into all
these aspects. If this Court, in a summary manner, directs the
police to grant protection for executing the decree, in case there
is any other person / 3rd party in possession of the said
property, police will not be able to decide the rights of the 3rd
parties but for providing police protection for executing the
decree. Hence, by all means, this Court cannot go into that
issue and appropriate remedy for the petitioner is to file an
Application under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 CPC.
6. The Writ Petition is accordingly, dismissed. There
shall be no order as to costs.
