Learned counsel for the respondents, who appears on advance notice, submits that the present matter pertains to a property dispute. It is submitted that, during the pendency of the dispute, a stay was granted by the Civil Court; however, the said stay was subsequently vacated. Thereafter, the opposite party, under the impression that they could now enter the property, attempted to enter the house. When the petitioners made a call and the police arrived at the spot, the opposite party was asked to leave the property and seek appropriate orders from the Court before entering the property. Accordingly, they left the property. It is further submitted that, thereafter, no complaint has been received from the petitioners alleging that the accused persons attempted to forcibly enter the property.
