On going through the complaint at Annexure-G, it is clear that the petitioner is alleging that he has filed O.S.No.22/2023 on the file of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Magadi and there is an order of temporary injunction restraining the defendants, who are none other than respondent Nos.2 and 3 herein, from interfering with the plaintiff’s peaceful possession and enjoyment of suit schedule property. It is alleged that in spite of such a temporary injunction granted by the Court, respondent Nos.2 and 3 are interfering with the suit schedule property. The petitioner therefore seeks police protection. 4. Learned Additional Government Advocate submits that there are several judgments of this Court which clearly hold that the police is not permitted to interfere or take action on such allegation touching upon the rights of the parties in respect of immovable properties. Police protection can be granted only if there is a specific direction given by the Civil Court. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:2316 WP No. 24691 of 2024 5. Upholding the submissions of the learned Additional Government Advocate, the writ petition stands disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to seek specific directions at the hands of the Civil Court where the suit filed by the petitioner 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.: 13 CT: BHK
