IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 384 OF 2010 MR. ROSARIO D'SILVA AND 6 ORS ... Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF GOA THROUGH ITS CHIEF SECRETARY AND 7 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. A. D. Bhobe, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S. S. Kantak, Advocate General with Mr. A. Kamat, Addl. Govt. Advocate for respondents No.1, 2, 5, 6 and 7. Mr. V. A. Lawande, Advocate for respondent No.8. Coram:- A. S. OKA & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 21st July, 2010 P.C.:- Heard learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners. In substance, the contention of the petitioners is that respondents No.1, 2 and 8 are dumping materials/debris and carrying on various activities in the petitioners' property. In short, the petition has been filed to get rid of the encroachment and for preventing further encroachment in the petitioners' property. We find that the remedy of the petitioners is to approach the Civil Court by filing a civil suit. Therefore, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition. We reject the same. However, we make it clear that we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the civil suit which may be filed by the petitioners, on its own merits. 2. The protection granted to the petitioners under Order dated 3rd May, 2010 in Writ Petition No.297/2010, is extended by a period of 4 weeks from today. We make it clear that the prayer made by the petitioners for interim relief in the suit which may be filed, will be considered on its own merits, without being influenced by the limited protection granted to the petitioners by this Court. A. S. OKA, J. F. M. REIS, J. ssm.
