JUDGMENT The petitioner has filed this original petition seeking for appropriate direction to respondents 1 and 2 to prevent unauthorised construction in 3.405 cents of property in survey No.1475 of Manacaud village by respondents 3 and 4. 2. The matter is purely a dispute of a civil nature. It is well settled that police cannot adjudicate civil rights of parties. Therefore, no direction can be issued to the second respondent to intervene in the civil dispute raised by the petitioner. Apart from that, respondents 3 and 4 have filed a counter affidavit stating that they had obtained valid permit for the construction. Therefore, the original petition is dismissed. No costs. (T.R.
