¶3The contention of the petitioner is that earlier the petitioner had lodged a complaint to the respondent police in this regard. Since no action has been taken, the petitioner had filed a writ petition in W.P.(Crl.)

The third respondent further created obstructions and did not allow the petitioner to peacefully enjoy her property. Hence, the petitioner has sent the present representation dated 02.02.2026.

¶4Learned Additional Public Prosecutor takes notice for R1 and R2 and submits that with regard to Cr.No.272/2025, he has no instruction. But as regards the petitioner's representation dated 02.02.2026, now summons has been issued to the petitioner as well as the third respondent to appear for enquiry on 24.04.2026 and on the date of enquiry, investigation will be conducted and appropriate police protection will be given to the petitioner by ensuring that there is no encroachment by the third respondent or any intruders without any authority of law or orders from the competent court.

¶5The learned counsel for the petitioner, on instruction, submits that the petitioner would appear for enquiry before the respondent police on 24.04.2026 without fail. Page4 of 6

¶6Considering the above submissions, this Court directs the respondent police to conduct enquiry on 24.04.2026 and give adequate police protection to the petitioner while conducting the survey and demarcation of boundary works in the petitioner's land in Survey No.403/2D situated at No.74B, Ponthandalam Village, Thirukkalukundram Taluk, Kancheepuram District and if any unreasonable encroachment or intrusion over the petitioner's property is found, appropriate action shall be taken to remove the same, unless there is any order from the competent court and the concerned encroachers shall be warned accordingly.
