Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri V. Farooq, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing on behalf of the official respondents. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have instituted O.S. No.1409 of 2025 on the file of the Principal Civil Judge, Vijayawada, and obtained an ex parte ad-interim injunction in I.A. No.1356 of 2025. It is his grievance that, in spite of the said injunction order, the official respondents are aiding the unofficial respondents in interfering with the petitioners’ possession. He further submits that the injunction order is being violated by misuse of police power, and that no effective protection is being extended to the petitioners. 4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submits that a crime has been registered against the petitioners in Crime No.450 of 2025 of Bhavanipuram Police Station for the offences 5 punishable under Sections 329(4), 351(2), 303(2) read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. He would further submit that the injunction order relied upon by the petitioners was granted ex-parte, in the absence of the other side, and the matter is still pending before the trial Court. It is contended that under the guise of the said order, the petitioners are attempting to dispossess the rightful owners from the land. 5. Having regard to the submissions made by both sides, and in view of the fact that the civil dispute between the parties is already pending in O.S. No.1409 of 2025 before the competent Civil Court, this Court is of the considered opinion that the petitioners are at liberty to work out their remedies before the said forum. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of, granting liberty to the petitioners to pursue their remedies before the appropriate forum. It is further directed that the police shall follow due process of law and shall not interfere with the petitioners’ property rights except in accordance with law and pursuant to orders of a competent Court. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. _________________________________________ Dr. JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA Date:23.09.2025 KKV 6 62 HON’BLE DR.
