THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:11174 WP No. 3219 of 2026 ORAL ORDER The petitioner seeks directions to the jurisdictional Police to act upon his representation and extend protection. The petitioner relies upon an order of ex parte temporary injunction. Sri Sachin K Naik, the learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri B.Ravindranath, the learned Additional Government Advocate, who is called upon to accept notice for the respondents, are heard for final disposal of the petition. Indeed the petitioner has the advantage of an ex parte interim order in the suit in OS No.405/2025 on the file of the Civil Judge and JMFC, Beluru, but for this Court to intervene and direct the jurisdictional Police to extend help, this Court opines that the petitioner must first request appropriate orders from the civil Court as this Court, which is seized of the controversy, could examine all circumstances and decide on whether there can be - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:11174 WP No. 3219 of 2026 directions to the jurisdictional Police. As such, the petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner, subject to all just exceptions, to file an application in the pending suit.
