IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE TENTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.5456 of 2010 Between: 1.Meka Kondal Rao and another. ..... Petitioner AND 1.The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kovvur, West Godavari District and 3 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Mrs.Bobba Vijayalakshmi Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 and 2: AGP for Home Counsel for Respondent Nos.3 and 4: --- The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent Nos.1 and 2, in giving protection to the petitioners for implementing judgment and decree, dated 15-07-2008, in O.S.No.28 of 2003, on the file of the learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Kovvuru, West Godavari District, and judgment and decree, dated 30-09-2009, in O.S.No.665 of 2003, on the file of the learned III Additional Junior Civil Judge, Kovvur, as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Smt.Bobba Vijayalakshmi, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, representing respondent Nos.1 and 2. The petitioners pleaded that petitioner No.1 has filed O.S.No.28 of 2003 against respondent No.3 for permanent injunction restraining him from interfering with the property in dispute; that the same was decreed on 15-07-2008; that respondent Nos.3 and 4 filed O.S.No.665 of 2003 against petitioner No.1 and that the same was dismissed on 30-09-2009. The grievance of the petitioners is that despite the said judgments and decrees, respondent Nos.3 and 4 are interfering with their possession over the suit property and that respondent Nos.1 and 2 have not been coming to their aid to protect their possession in terms of the judgments and decrees referred to above. The petitioners have not approached the Court, which has granted the decrees in their favour for grant of Police Aid. In Vadla Konda Narender and others vs. Station House Officer, PS., Atmakur, Warangal District and others[1], this Court has taken the view that the persons seeking direction, by way of Mandamus, to the Police to grant aid for protection of their properties, pursuant to the orders or decrees passed by the civil Court in their favour, shall first approach the civil Court, which granted such orders and decrees. It was further held that it is only when they fail to get an order from the civil Court, that they can approach this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Following the said view, this Writ Petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to approach the civil Court, which granted judgments and decrees in their favour, for grant of Police aid. In the unlikely event of the petitioners being unsuccessful in their endeavor to convince the civil Court, they are entitled to approach this Court. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.7017 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 10th March, 2010 lur [1] 2009 (5) ALT 426
