THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Civil Revision Petition No.1486 of 2009 ORDER: This civil revision petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the order dated 15.10.2008 passed in I.A.No.1714 of 2008 in O.S.No.1101 of 2008 on the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge’s Court, Ranga Reddy District, whereunder the petition filed by the petitioners herein, plaintiffs in the suit, praying the Court below to provide police protection to implement the order of interim injunction granted in their favour on 24.06.2008, was dismissed. The case of the petitioners herein, who are the plaintiffs in the suit, was that, though the interim injunction granted in their favour is in force, the respondents herein, defendants in the suit, have been trying to dispossess them from the suit schedule property highhandedly and when they approached the police and complained the highhanded action of the defendants, the police refused to take any action. Hence, by way of present application, the petitioners prayed the Court below to direct the police Kandukur to provide police protection to implement the interim injunction granted in their favour. Respondents-defendants resisted the application, by way filing of counter. The Court below, having considered the rival contentions and the matter in detail, dismissed the application, by the impugned order dated 15.10.2008. Aggrieved thereby, the present civil revision petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned order and other material made available on record. Despite existence of interim injunction in favour of the petitioners-plaintiffs, if respondents-defendants are interfering with their possession in violation of the interim injunction order, the petitioners are not remediless, in that they can either initiate contempt proceedings against the respondents-defendants or initiate criminal proceedings if the respondents indulge in criminal acts. Hence, I see no reason to interfere with the discretionary order passed by the Court below, refusing to order police protection for implementing the interim injunction order. The civil revision petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 8th February 2010 IBL
