The 5th respondent 5 had earlier filed a civil suit in respect of the said property, which came to be dismissed. Subsequent thereto, the 5th respondent approached respondent Nos.3 and 4. As the said property is private property, the respondent authorities have no right to interfere. However, the 3rd respondent is now interfering with the petitioners’ peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property. Aggrieved by the said action, present writ petition has been filed. 3. Heard Sri S.V.Muni Reddy, learned counsel for petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for respondent Nos.1 to 3. 4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.1 to 3, on instructions, submits that respondents are not interfering with the petitioners’ possession over the subject property. 5. Learned counsel for petitioners, however, specifically contends that the 4th respondent is attempting to interfere with the petitioners’ property. 6. As this Court is not inclined to go into merits of the case, notice to respondent No.5 is dispensed with. 7. In view of the said submissions, and without expressing any opinion on merits of the matter, the present Writ Petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos.1 to 4 not to interfere with the petitioners’ peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property. If the petitioners have any grievance with the respondent No.5, petitioners are at liberty to approach 6 competent civil Court for appropriate relief. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH Date: 31.12.2025 KBN 7 45 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.RAMESH WRIT PETITION No.36501 of 2025 Date: 31.12.2025 KBN
