We peruse the interim order passed by this Court. We have heard the learned counsel for both parties. Without pronouncing on the merits of the matter, we direct that police will not interfere with the civil disputes. However, we make it clear that the police may interfere only if there is a direction from the Civil Court. Needless to say, this does not mean that if any cognizable crime is committed, the police shall not take action.
