PETITIONER AND 1 The Station House Officer, Ramagundam Rural Police Station, Ramagundam. 2 The Inspector of Police (Rural) Ramagundam Circle, at N.T.P.C., Ramagundam. 3 The Assistant Superintendent of Police, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District. 4 The Superintendent of Police, Karimnagar District. 5 The Director General of Police, A.P., Lakdikapool, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.NANDIGAM KRISHNA RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in providing protection to the petitioner-Gram Panchayat for construction of a Welcome Arch opposite to the bus stand in Peddampet Village, pursuant to resolution dated 28-02-2005, and as confirmed by resolutions dated 03- 08-2007 and 12-09-2007, as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri Nandigam Krishna Rao, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and perused the record. In its affidavit, the petitioner averred that when it sought to raise a Welcome Arch, one Vemula Narayana objected to the same and resisted the said move; that the petitioner filed O.S.No.317 of 2007 on the file of the learned Junior Civil Judge, Godavarikhani, for perpetual injunction against the said person and for declaration that the petitioner is entitled to construct the Welcome Arch and; that the said suit was decreed on 21-11-2007. The petitioner alleged that despite the said decree having become final, the said Vemula Narayana has been continuing to obstruct construction of the arch by the contractor, to whom the said work was entrusted by the petitioner, and that though the petitioner approached the local police, they have not been giving protection. The petitioner, admittedly, filed civil suit and obtained a decree from the Court of competent jurisdiction. If the person, who suffered decree, or any other person or persons claiming through him, continues to resist the petitioner-Gram Panchayat’s attempt to raise arch, it is not remedy less. It is entitled to approach the competent civil Court, seeking execution of the decree passed in its favour. The petitioner failed to give any reason for not availing the said remedy, which, in my opinion, is more appropriate and effective. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the competent civil Court, seeking execution of judgment and decree dated 21-1-2007 passed in O.S.No.317 of 2007 on the file of the Junior Civil Judge, Godavarikhani. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.11119 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 17th April, 2008 lur
