This Court, while admitting the writ petition, directed the respondents 1 and 2 not to call the petitioners to the police station in respect of their family disputes regarding land. As no counter is forthcoming, I am of the opinion that, unless the complaint has been registered disclosing cognizable offence, the police cannot interfere with the life and liberty of the petitioners. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents 1 and 2 not to interfere with the civil disputes among the petitioners and their family members unless a complaint disclosing cognizable offence is filed and crime is registered. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:09.04.2008 Ccm To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{KRD}
