THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 11129 of 2010. ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondent Nos.1 and 2 in interfering with the civil disputes between the petitioner and his brother-respondent No.3, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that there is a civil dispute between him and respondent No.3 with regard to immovable properties in respect of agricultural land in an extent of Acs.2.25 guntas situated Sy.Nos.624/1, 624/2 and 628/1 in Chittoor District. In that connection, respondent Nos.1 and 2 are summoning the petitioner to settle the said dispute. I am not inclined to express any opinion as to who is in possession of the land in question. However, the police have no right or authority whatsoever to interfere with the civil disputes between the private individuals. If the petitioner involves in any cognizable offence, it is always open for the concerned police to register a case against him and investigate into the same, in accordance with law. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos. 1 and 2 not to interfere with the civil disputes between the petitioner and his brother-respondent No.3, except otherwise by following due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH Date: 12.05.2010 va
