The captioned Writ Petition is filed seeking a Writ of Certiorari to quash the Notice at Annexure-A dated:22.11.2019 and the Notice at Annexure-B dated:25.11.2019 issued by the third respondent to the petitioners. 3. Counsel for the respective parties urged several contentions. Senior counsel Sri.Udaya Holla., in presenting his argument strenuously urged that the matter is squarely covered by the order passed by the Co-ordinate bench of this Court in A.N.Vasantha Madhava Rao V/s. State of Karnataka and others in (Writ Petition No.52846/2016) disposed of on 16.06.2023. Counsel therefore, submits that an appropriate order may be passed. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:7367 WP No. 52502 of 2019 Heard the arguments and perused the Writ papers with care. 4. Suffice it to note that the petitioner and the fourth respondent are agitating their civil rights before the Civil Court in O.S.No.427/2021 and the same is pending for consideration as of today. Needless to say, the Police Officers cannot interfere in the civil matters. Therefore, this Court deems it proper to quash the Notices. Counsel for petitioner has cited an order referred to supra, but I do not think that the law is in doubt. Each decision turns on its facts. The present case is also tested in light of the aforesaid order. 5. The Writ of Certiorari is ordered. The Notice dated:22.11.2019 vide Annexure-A and the Notice dated:25.11.2019 vide Annexure-B issued by the third respondent are quashed. 6. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is allowed.
