¶1The grievance of the petitioner in the present petition is that the Station House Officer of Police Station Sumerpur, District Hamirpur is illegally interfering in a private dispute regarding ownership of the tubewell between the petitioner and the respondent nos. 4 to 7 without there being any order of any civil court or any other court authorizing interference by the Station House Officer. In view of the aforesaid, the petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs :- "(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of writ of mandamus directing the Superintendent of Police, Hamirpur and Station House Officer, Police Station Sumerpur, District Hamirpur/respondent nos. 2 and 3 to not interfere in operation of tube well of petitioner while considering and deciding the application dated 20.10.2023."
¶2The police officers of the District are not empowered to interfere or settle the private dispute of different parties.
