Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The writ petition is for a direction against the attempted action of the 4th respondent to eject the petitioner from the property with the help of the police, who are arrayed as respondent Nos.2 to 3. Having regard to the alleged harassment by the police, I had requested the counsel, Sh. Sharma to secure the immediate presence of the 3rd respondent. The Sub-Inspector, Balwan Singh is present in Court. He has brought the copy of complaint which the 4th respondent has given to the Hon'ble Chief Minister, which has been referred to the police for investigation. The complaint of the 4th respondent is that the petitioner, who is a tenant in the premises is not paying the rent regularly. The complaint also makes veiled reference to the petitioner's “uncivilized manner” of living. The C.W.P. No.5975 of 2010 -2- petitioner has also given her response to the complaint. The police official, who is present here has been counselled that the police will not take any action for ejectment of the petitioner from the premises and the landlord, if he has grievance for the continuance in possession of the property, will only take action in the process known to law. The activities of police shall stay confined to what the police exists for, namely for enforcement of law and order and to ensure that no crimes are committed. To the extent to which the complaint makes reference about the activities of the petitioner, it shall be the duty of the police to ensure that law and order is maintained there and no offences are committed by any person. 2. Taking the presence of the 3rd respondent before the Court and the statement of the learned counsel appearing for the State that the police shall not act beyond enquiring into a complaint forwarded through the Chief Minister's office and they shall not engage in any activity that could imperil the petitioner's legal right to stay in possession till ejected in accordance with law, the writ petition is disposed of.
