IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.164 of 2009 TRIVENI SINGH son of Late Jai Ram Singh resident of village Narayanpur, P.S. Narayanpur district Bhojpur, presently residing at C/O. Rameshwar Singh, Mohalla Singh Colony, Mirganj, P.s. Town Thana, District Bhojpur. Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 18/04/2009 The main contention of the petitioner is that he is suffering at the hands of his own son claiming his share in the retirement benefit and other properties. The petitioner has filed a petition Annexure-1 before the Superintendent of Police. He has also filed a similar application before the Officer-in-charge of Narayanpur police station, Bhojpur (respondent no. 4). The petitioner also filed a partition suit before the Subordinate Judge 1st, Arrah, Bhojpur bearing case No. 254 of 2008 to demarcate the property among family members. Subsequently he entered into a compromise with his son for settlement of the property but later on his son refused to accept the same. We cannot adjudicate civil dispute in a writ court. If there is compromise entered into, the competent civil court has to decide the dispute. In the circumstances, I direct the Superintendent of Police, Bhojpur, Ara (respondent no. 3) and the Officer-in-charge of Narayanpur Police Station (respondent no. 4) to take adequate action in the matter after hearing both sides and see that the life and property of the petitioner is not put in danger without expressing any opinion as to the question of civil disputes. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. (J. B. Koshy, CJ.) AMIN - 2 -
