The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner may have failed in a suit for declaration of title and permanent injunction in O.S.No.183/2016 with the suit being dismissed and the dismissal being confirmed in a regular appeal, but the petitioner's second appeal in R.S.A.No.1270/2025 is pending consideration.

The learned counsel contends that notwithstanding these circumstances, the petitioner fears dispossession and therefore there must be direction to the police to intervene. This Court must observe that if there is an order of Status Quo by this Court, that must prevail, and in any event, if there is an order for restoration and the property has to be restored, it has to be after drawing up of necessary procedure. In the circumstances, there would be no cause for - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:6195 WP No. 26342/2025 directions to the respondent police. This petition only leads to multiplicity of proceedings. The petitioner must file an application, if there is occasion for the same, in the pending proceedings. Hence, subject to all just exceptions, the petition stands disposed of.
