Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.R.REDDY KOVVURI Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following : :: ORAL ORDER :: The writ petition is filed complaining that the respondents 1 to 4 are interfering with the petitioners’ peaceful possession and enjoyment of land of Ac.1.21 cts, in Sy.Nos. 31/3 & 31/2 and Ac.2.63 cts, in Sy.Nos. 35/A & 35-7C of Putlampalli fields, Putlampalli Village, Cuddapah District, at the instance of the respondents 5 to 10. The 1st respondent has filed a counter affidavit stating that he had enquired into the complaint of the petitioners in detail and the said enquiry revealed existence of disputes between two communities – Reddys and Muslims, in that locality, that the 7th respondent had approached the then Superintendent of Police with a representation which was endorsed to the Inspector of Police (R4) with instructions to enquire into the matter. Thereafter the 2nd and 4th respondents called the petitioners and the unofficial respondents 5 to 10, enquired into areas of disputes between them and advised the parties to await the outcome of pending civil litigation. Despite such advice to maintain peace, there was some breach of law and order consequent on a scuffle between the parties. As such prohibitory orders u/Sec.145 Cr.PC were issued and both the parties restricted from entering into the lands in question till disposal of the civil litigation. The answering respondent further states that apart from the above there was no other interference by the official respondents and that the allegation that the respondents 2 to 4 abused the petitioners in filthy language and threatened them with dire consequences, is false. In view of the categorical denial of the petitioners’ allegations and no rebuttal to this averment in the counter, by the petitioners, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.
