Prv. P.R.RAMAN & P.S.GOPINATHAN, JJ. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= W.P.(C) No. 31001 of 2009 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Dated this the 12th day of January, 2010 JUDGMENT Raman, J. Petitioner, stated to be an owner of 5.940 acres of land in Sy. No.65/1 in Sulthan Bathery Taluk, Wayanad District, complaints about forcible attempt on the part of respondents 3 to 11 to trespass into his property in the guise of width of a pathway on the northern side of petitioner’s property. According to the petitioner, an injunction was obtained in O.S. No.598/2001 from the Munsiff’s Court, Sulthan Bathery against one Joshy and Vijayan. The said Vijayan is the 5th respondent herein. But now at the instance of the 5th respondent, some other party is attempting to trespass into the property of the petitioner. 2. The primary dispute is therefore as to whether the pathway is widened in such a manner trespassing into the property of the petitioner. This is a matter to be decided after taking evidence. Therefore, the dispute is of a civil nature and this Court in the extra ordinary jurisdiction cannot take evidence and then decide such dispute of civil nature rather the petitioner to approach civil court for such W.P.(C) No. 31001/09 2 remedies. The interim order to maintain law and order will, however, continue. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE. mn.
