Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned counsels for the respondents and perused the materials available on record. 4. At the outset, this Court is of the view, such a protection cannot be granted particularly, when there is rivalry claim by the other side. The practice of granting the blanket police protection particularly, immovable property without establishing title leads to serious consequences. In this aspect, the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of ''PR.Muralidharan and others Vs.Swami Dharmananda Theertha Padar'' reported in 2006 4 SCC as held as follows: ''...19.A Writ for ''Police Protection“ so-called, has only a limited scope, as when the Court is approached for protection of rights declared by a decree or by an order passed by a civil Court. It cannot be extended to cases where rights have not been determined either finally by the civil Court or, at least at an interlocutory stage in an unambigous manner, and then too in furtherance of the decree or order.'' Even as per the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, it is seen that there is a proceedings between the petitioner and the fourth respondent in the Civil Court. In such view of the matter, there shall not be any blanket Order https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP Crl. No. 365 of 2025 for police protection and the petitioner can very well work out his remedy before the Execution Court by filing appropriate application. 5.
