IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK CRLMP No.923 of 2025 Farhat Siddique …. Petitioner Mr. M. K. Pati, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha and Others …. Opp. Parties Mr. R. B. Dash, Addl. P. P. CORAM: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE CHITTARANJAN DASH Order No. ORDER 18.08.2025 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Parties. 2. By means of this application, the Petitioner seeks the intervention of this Court for a direction to be passed for appropriate action as per law taking action against Opposite Party Nos.5 to 8 protecting her interest in regard to the life and liberty as well as the property. 3. Learned counsel for the state on the other hand has placed the written instructions of the ACP-cum-Inspector in Charge, Lalbag PS wherein the ACP has informed that the dispute erupted between the Petitioner and her brother- Mohammed Saheed on account of partition of parental property. Now other sisters are also claiming to p. 2 take share of their parental property. The bone of contention of dispute is partition of parental property equally among all. The lion share of disputed parental land is under the illegal possession of Petitioner which is objected by the Opposite Party, namely Mohammad Saheed (one brother of the Petitioner). The dispute is continuing since long on the issue. In this connection ceaseless scuffle is continuing among them. Several cases and counter cases have been registered pertaining to the disputed land but despite the advice none of the Parties are resorting to the appropriate action before the learned Civil Court for partition of the said land. Basing on the written report of the Petitioner as well as the Opposite Parties, namely, Mohammad Saheed, Lalbag PS Case Nos.145/24, 155/2024, 62/2025, 86/25 & 87/2025 have been registered. The whole dispute hinges upon the partition of the property. The written instruction is taken on record. 4. Keeping in view the aforesaid written instructions of the ACP-cum-Inspector in Charge, Lalbag PS, it appears that the Parties are in loggerhead in connection with the share in the parental property which has not been submitted to partition. Be that as it may, the Petitioner being a senior citizen of considerable age, it is not p. 3 expected under any circumstances that the Opposite Party Nos.5, 6, 7 & 8 shall take the law into their hands in any manner save and accept to resort to the appropriate court of law by way of a partition or otherwise as has been suggested by the Police and the village committee which reveals from the instructions. The concerned Police, Opposite Party Nos.3 & 4 shall ensure that the instructions passed by the learned ADM under Annexure- 8 is to be meticulously followed and appropriate action, if any be taken against the erring persons in case, they do not come under the instructions of the Police for maintaining a congenial relationship besides the behavior vis-à-vis of the Petitioner. With the aforesaid observation, the CRLMP stands disposed of. 5. A copy of this order be supplied to the learned counsel for the State for onward communication to the Lalbag Police.
