1 wp-3433.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 3433 OF 2010 Mr.Hakimulla Babu Shaikh. ... Petitioner. V/s. The Senior Inspector of Police, Kurla Police Station and others. ... Respondents. Mr.Satyajeet M. Mirajkar i/b. Pillai & Co. for the petitioner. Mr.A.S.Gadkari, APP for the respondent-State. Mr.P.G.Sawant for respondent Nos.2 and 3. CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR AND A.P.BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : 8th December, 2010. P.C. : From the complaint made by the petitioner (Exh.H), it appears that the grievance of the petitioner is that the private respondents have committed trespass and attempted to take forcible possession of the property in question. According to the petitioner, he has title to the said premises and the private respondents have no casual connection with it. It is alleged that the private respondents made 2 wp-3433.10 attempt to take forcible possession so as to remain in occupation of the said premises. 2. We fail to understand as to how the concerned Senior Police Inspector has not taken any action on the basis of the complaint made by the petitioner. If such grievance is made before him, that too in writing and it is also noticed that there are already pending court proceedings between the parties, it is necessary for the said officer to take appropriate action in accordance with law as may be warranted. It is possible that the said officer must have undertaken some preliminary inquiry. If so, it was expected of the officer to communicate the view so formed on the basis of the preliminary inquiry to the petitioner/ complainant. 3. We direct the concerned Senior Police Inspector to act upon the written complaint made by the petitioner dated 15th July, 2010 and proceed in accordance with law. We make it clear that this order is not an express of opinion either way on the merits of contentions between the private parties before us. All aspects are left open to be considered by the said authority in accordance with law on its own merits. Petition is disposed of accordingly. (A.P.BHANGALE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
