JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD ORAL ORDER The petitioner asserts interest in certain immovable properties at Varthur Narasipura Village, Tavarekere Hobli, Magadi, and it has filed this petition for the following relief: "issue a writ of mandamus, or any other writ, order or direction, directing the respondents to consider the representation dated 03.11.2025 at Annexure-G and further direct the respondents - police authorities not - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2585 WP No. 35842 of 2025 to interfere with the schedule properties as the disputes involved in respect of the schedule properties between the petitioner and others are purely civil in nature." Sri V Lakshminarayana, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner, submits that there are multiple civil suits by different persons but that would be no justification for the jurisdictional Police [the seventh respondent] to interfere and bring about a rapprochement or settlement or even otherwise. When queried, Sri B Ravindranath, the learned Additional Government Advocate, submits that his definite instructions are that the police have not attempted to intercede and that they will act strictly in accordance with the Circular dated 23.09.2025 [a Circular that is issued in continuation of the previous Circular dated 14.11.2018]. Sri J C Kumar, the learned counsel for the intervener, inviting this Court's attention to - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2585 WP No. 35842 of 2025 paragraph-3 of the writ petition submits that despite referring to both M/s. DLF Ltd. and M/s. Bengaluru Divinity LLP Ltd [one of whom is his client], both the afore entitites have not been impleaded and hence this petition could not have been filed. However, this Court is of the view that the petition must be disposed of taking on record the submissions on behalf of the jurisdictional police that there cannot be an intervention by the jurisdictional Police even to bring about a rapprochement because of the pending civil dispute. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. Sd/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE AN/-
