THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.17920 of 2009 DATE: 27.08.2009 Between: Pondilimarri Venkatachalapathy and others ... Petitioners and The Station House Officer, I Town P.S., Ananthapur, Ananthapur District and another ... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.17920 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of 1st respondent in interfering with the civil disputes pending in O.S.Nos.25, 118 and 36 of 2009 on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Ananthapur and summoning them to the police station, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. The case of the petitioners, in brief, is that they are owners and possessors of premises bearing door Nos.20/12-1, 20/7-B and 20/7A, respectively, situated at Ambarapu Street, old town, Ananthapur and they have been residing in their respective houses for the last more than 15 years without any interruption or interference from anybody. As there are civil disputes between them and the 2nd respondent, they filed O.S.Nos.25, 118 and 36 of 2009 on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Ananthapur, respectively, against the 2nd respondent for perpetual injunctions and the same are pending. Now, at the instance of the 2nd respondent, the Station House Officer, I town P.S., Ananthapur, Ananthapur District - 1st respondent is directing them to appear before him and causing interference with their peaceful possession of their respective houses. Aggrieved by the same, they filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Home. 4. When it is the grievance of the petitioners that there are civil disputes between them and the 2nd respondent, in my considered view, the police have no business to interfere with the civil disputes. It is only the civil court that can decide the same. That apart, it is not as though there is a report against the petitoiners, on the basis of which, the 1st respondent is interfering with their peaceful possession of their houses. In that view of the matter, this court is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent not to interfere with the petitioners' personal life and peaceful possession of their houses referred to supra, without following the due process of law. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 27th August, 2009 Note: Furnish CC by three days.
