BY GP SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).27381/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 17th day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner has approached this Court seeking an order of restrain on the respondents from “doing anything against the petitioner and his properties, particularly hotel Linchues and his residential building namely Sugath or doing anything to obstruct his peaceful running of Hotel Linchues and his comfortable residence with his family in his house Sugath”. 2. In my view, respondents who are public officials would obviously take steps against the property or the residence of the petitioner only in accordance with law. If therefore, any steps are taken against the petitioner or the property of the petitioner, then, notice as contemplated and provided by statutory provision, will have to be first issued and then only steps taken. Subject to the above observation, writ petition is disposed of. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
