The operative portion of the aforementioned order is reproduced hereunder: “In the meantime, the oﬃcial respondents are restrained from interfering in the civil disputes between the petitioner and the 7th respondent with regard to agricultural dry land in survey No.97 admeasuring Acs.11.20 guntas situated at Pudur Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The Oﬃcial respondents, however, shall investigate the cases, which have been registered against the petitioner.” Numerous photographs have been appended to this petition to show that the police are interfering with the possession of the petitioner over his agricultural lands. Counter aﬃdavit has been ﬁled on behalf of respondent No.3 wherein it has been averred that there are as many as seven criminal cases registered against the petitioner on the ﬁle of Chengomula Police Station. The details of the cases are extracted hereunder: i) “Cr.No.175/2007 under Sections 119, 193, 197, 198, 209, 418, 420, 423, 467, 421, 447 and 506 I.P.C. (case is pending trial vide CC.No.143/2011) ii) Cr.No.151/2007 under Sections 323, 506 I.P.C. (case is pending trial vide C.C.No.70/2008) iii) Cr.No.215/2008 under Section 3(i)(x) SC/ST (POA) Act, 1989 and 506 I.P.C. (referred it as false on 14.08.2009) iv) Cr.No.56/2009 under Sections 353 IPC (case is pending trial vide CC.No.171/2009) v) Cr.No.20/11 under Section 3(i)(x) of SC/ST (POA) Act (case is pending investigation) vi) Cr.No.90/2011 under Sections 447, 506 I.P.C. (case is pending investigation) vii) Cr.No.92/2011 under Sections 147, 324, 427, 447 r/w 149 I.P.C. (case is pending investigation)” It has further been averred that the oﬃcial respondents are investigating the cases registered against the petitioner and the same cannot be termed as interference with the possession of the petitioner. After hearing the counsel for the parties, it is clear that the petitioner is involved in as many as seven criminal cases, which are being investigated by the oﬃcial respondents. The visit of the police to the agricultural lands of the petitioner with regard to investigation cannot be termed as interference in his lands. Therefore, I ﬁnd no merit in the contempt case and the same is liable to be dismissed. The contempt case is accordingly dismissed. However, it is made clear that in case the police want to investigate any case in future, they shall call the petitioner to the police station. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA J DATE: 22-11-2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA C.C.No.1073 of 2011 Dt. 22.11.2011
