JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD ORAL ORDER The petitioner is aggrieved by the third respondent's Endorsement dated 28.11.2024 [Annexure-L]. The third respondent, by the impugned Endorsement, has informed the petitioner that there is no direction by the Court to extend help to implement any particular direction and that the petitioner's dispute with the concerned is of civil nature, and therefore, there cannot be any interference. 2. This Court, on 29.07.2025, upon hearing the learned counsels for the parties, has recorded the following question for consideration: Whether the petitioner could sustain this petition if it has withdrawn an - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:29498 WP No. 33181 of 2024 application filed for directions to the police in the civil suit. 3. It remains indisputable that the petitioner has the advantage of an interim injunction in OS No. 326/2022 on the file of the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Chitradurga and that the petitioner had also filed an application for implementation of the injunction order which stands disposed of as withdrawn. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the application was withdrawn because of a specific assurance by the respondent not to act in disobedience with the order of temporary injunction but these respondents are violating the orders. This assertion is met by Sri Ravi H K, the learned counsel for the fourth to sixth respondents, contending that the private respondents' property has a compound, but the petitioner, acting under the shelter of the interim injunction, wants to enter - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:29498 WP No. 33181 of 2024 possession of the first respondent's property, and therefore, the third respondent has rightly refused to intervene. Smt K P Yashodha, the learned Additional Government Advocate is heard. 5. This Court is of the view that this Court need not enter into the factual assertion when the concerned civil Court is seized of the matter in O.S. No.356/2022 and that even if the application is withdrawn, there are subsequent circumstances that justify a renewal of the application, the petitioner must pursue remedy accordingly and there cannot be any interference in the present petition. 6. As such, the petition stands disposed of with the observation as aforesaid. SD/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE AN/-
