THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 11133 of 2010. ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2 and 3 in trying to dispossess the petitioners from their land, at the instance of the unofficial respondents 4 to 8, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that there is a civil dispute between them and the unofficial respondents in respect of the land in Survey No.9/1 in an extent of Acs.3.00 guntas, part and parcel of total extent of Acs.45.00 guntas, situated in Ward No.11, Block No.21, Saroor Nagar Village and Mandal, L.B.Nagar Municipal Circle, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad. In that connection, respondents 2 and 3 are trying to dispossess them from the said land. I am not inclined to express any opinion as to who is in possession of the land in question. However, the police have no right or authority whatsoever to interfere with the civil disputes between the private individuals. If the petitioners involve in any cognizable offence, it is always open for the concerned police to register a case against them and investigate into the same, in accordance with law. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 2 and 3 not to interfere with the civil disputes between the petitioners and unofficial respondents 4 to 8, except otherwise by following due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH Date: 12.05.2010 va
