No. 251 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 5 2. It is seen that the petitioner claims title to the subject property under a partition deed and seeks police protection for fencing the property. However, the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for respondents 4 and 5 reveal that the said partition deed was subsequently reversed and that the petitioner's share in the property was reduced. 3. That apart, several civil disputes between the petitioner and respondents 4 and 5 in respect of the subject property are pending adjudication. In such circumstances, police protection cannot be granted for fencing the property, as the dispute involves disputed questions relating to title and possession. Therefore, this Court is of the considered view that the present writ petition is devoid of merits. 4. In view of the above, this Writ Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the competent Civil Court and seek appropriate relief, if so advised.
