THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.7697 OF 2010 Dated 8th April, 2010 Between: Sri Baidevathamma Fishermen Co-operative Society Limited, Venkatapuram, rep. by its President, K.Rami Reddy. …Petitioner And 1.The Superintendent of Police, Chittoor, Chittoor District and 2 others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Mr.P.Venugopal for Mr.G.Vijaya Babu Counsel for the Respondents: AGP for Home The Court made the following Order: In this Writ Petition, the grievance of the petitioner- Fishermen Co-operative Society is that certain third parties have been unauthorisedly interfering with its right to harvest fish in Thoandamandu Tank, over which it claims to hold leasehold rights and that though it has given a report on 02-03-2010 to respondent No.3 for taking action against such intruders and also to grant Police Aid, no action is taken by him so far. I have heard Sri P.Venugopal, learned Counsel representing Sri G.Vijaya Babu, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home representing the respondents. As regards the first mentioned grievance of the petitioner viz., the alleged inaction of respondent No.3 on the petitioner’s report dated 02-03-2010, under the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short ‘the Code’), respondent No.3 is bound to act on such report, if he is satisfied that its contents disclose commission of a cognizable offence. With regard to the second grievance of the petitioner that respondent No.3 has not granted Police Aid, I am afraid it is not entitled to such a relief at this stage. If certain third parties are interfering with the petitioner’s rights, it has to, at the first instance, approach the competent civil Court for appropriate order. If, despite such an order, the unlawful interference continued, it is only then that the petitioner can claim Police Aid. In this view of the matter, the Writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.3 to take appropriate action on the petitioner’s complaint in terms of the provisions of the Code. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.9902 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 8th April, 2010 lur
