CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD
ORAL ORDER
The question presented for consideration by filing the present application [I.A. No.1/2024] is whether this Court must recall the order dated
07.11.2024. This Court, by this order, has directed the third respondent [the jurisdictional Police] to extend protection to the petitioner from the date on which the petitioner seeks protection. This Court's
order is premised in the assertion that the petitioner's suit in O.S. No.783/1995 for permanent injunction is decreed on 05.04.2002 and that such decree subsists.
As against the reliance on the decree dated 05.04.2002, it is now brought on record by the fourth respondent who was not issued with the notice earlier and is the contesting respondent, that indeed the petitioner had the advantage of the decree dated 05.04.2002 in O.S. No.783/1995 but such Judgment

and decree is subject matter of appeal with this Court in RSA No.1104/2004 restoring the suit for re- adjudication; that this Court's Judgment in RSA No.1104/2004 is on 06.01.2011 and that after this remand, the petitioner's suit is dismissed.
Significantly, it is now stated that the petitioner unsuccessfully carried the
Judgment dated 28.05.2013 in the suit on remand in first appeal in RA No.128/2013 with the dismissal of the appeal on 30.10.2017 and that there has been no proceedings after such judgment in the appeal. These assertions are borne out by the documents furnished. Hence, the application [I.A. No.1/2024] is allowed and the
order dated 07.11.2024 is recalled. The petition stands disposed of for the aforesaid reasons because an unsuccessful plaintiff cannot seek any assistance from the police. SD/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE AN/-
