IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF MAY, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9597 of 2008 Between: A.K. Ramesh … Petitioner AND The Commissioner of Police, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri M.V. Suresh Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Home This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9597 of 2008 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in providing police protection to the petitioner as per representations dated 22.03.2007, 22.08.2007, 25.03.2008 and 15.04.2008, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner also sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to provide police protection. Heard Sri M.V. Suresh, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. In connection with a civil dispute, which is the subject matter of O.S.No.411 of 1999 on the file of the III Senior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Secunderabad, the petitioner sought for police protection for execution of the decree passed by the said Court on 28.09.2000 in the said suit. When the petitioner filed WP.No.15928 of 2007 for a similar relief, this Court, while dismissing the writ petition, made the following observation: “Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed with a liberty to the petitioners to make a representation/requisition before the concerned police about the alleged interference of the unofficial respondents and if the police do not render necessary police protection it is open for the petitioners to file fresh application before the Executing Court under Section 151 CPC seeking necessary police aid.” On the ground that the petitioner’s representations made in pursuance of the abovementioned order of this Court were not considered, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. From a reading of the above-reproduced portion of the order passed by this Court in WP.No.15928 of 2007, it is clear that the petitioner was given liberty to approach the Executing Court by filing a fresh application under Section 151 CPC. At the hearing, Sri M.V. Suresh, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though on an earlier occasion i.e., prior to the passing of the order in the writ petition referred to above, the civil Court granted police protection under Section 151 CPC in a different suit, namely, O.S.No.58 of 2006, the petitioner has not filed any application under Section 151 CPC in respect of the property, which is the subject matter of O.S.No.411 of 1999 as directed by this Court. I am of the considered view that having invited the order from this Court in WP.No.15928 of 2007, the petitioner cannot be permitted to avail the present remedy of filing writ petition without following the course suggested by this Court in the said writ petition. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file an application under Section 151 CPC seeking police protection in the Executing Court. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.12674 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 01.05.2008 ES
