On going through the representations at Annexures-B, C and D, it is clear that the petitioners are alleging that they have filed O.S.No.112/2024 on the file of the Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Sakaleshpura and there is an order of temporary injunction restraining the defendants, who is none other than respondent No.4 herein, from interfering with the plaintiff’s peaceful possession and enjoyment of suit schedule property. It is alleged that inspite of such a temporary injunction granted by the Court, respondent No.4 is interfering with the suit schedule property. The petitioners therefore seeks Police protection. 4.

Police protection can be granted only if there is a specific direction given by the Civil Court. 5. Upholding the submissions of the learned Additional Government Advocate, the writ petition stands disposed of, granting liberty to the petitioners to seek specific directions at the hands of the Civil Court, where the suit filed by the petitioners is pending seeking Police protection to implement the interim orders passed by the Civil Court. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE rv List No.: 1 Sl No.: 2 CT: BHK
