For Petitioner : Mr.A.R.Senthilkumar For Respondents1&2 : Mr.P.Kannithevan Government Advocate (Crl.Side) O R D E R *********** Seeking a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to give protection to the petitioner for harvesting the crops raised in the land comprised in Survey Nos.6/3 and 40/4 situated at Dhandalai Village, Vadipatti Taluk, Madurai District, the petitioner has come up with this Criminal Original Petition. 2. In my considered opinion, such a prayer cannot be granted. If the petitioner has got any grievance regarding his right to enjoy the property, the remedy of the petitioner is to approach the competent Civil Court. In a petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, a civil dispute between the parties cannot be resolved. Granting a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to give police protection to the petitioner for harvesting the crops will amount to grant of an injunction. Therefore, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to work out his remedy in the manner known to law.
