The petitioner submits that he has purchased the aforesaid piece of land on which he has constructed a shop. He submits that the accused persons named in the F.I.R. are mischievously raising boundary on eastern side. The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the police by which they have sealed his shop instead of investigating the case properly.
