According to the petitioner, one Selvaraj and his men trespassed into his property and wanted to occupy the same. Since the action was per se illegal and on the basis of a decision taken in the Katta Panchayat, the petitioner preferred a complaint before the third respondent on 27.09.2010. However, no action was taken. Therefore, the petitioner submitted a representation before the second respondent. Even then, there was no positive action at the instance of the police. Therefore, the petitioner was constrained to file the Writ Petition. 3. The learned Additional Government Pleader produced a copy of the First Information Report registered in Crime No.289 of 2010 on the file of Pandanallur Police Station.
