Learned AGA on request having accepted notice for the first respondent and notice to the rest is dispensed with as being unnecessary, submits that he would instruct his client to look into the grievance of the petitioner swiftly and in accordance with law.

In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed off directing the first respondent to assist the Shirastedar of the Court below in taking possession of the subject property immediately after petitioner makes the written request in that regard. Non-compliance of this direction may result into multiple adverse entries being made in the Service Register of the police officials concerned. Costs made easy." 4.
