R.Kauppaiah v. The Superintendent of Police

O R D E R This Criminal Original Petition is filed seeking for protection from the police to the petitioner as it is alleged that the respondent No.3 is obstructing the petitioner from maintaining the wall belonging to him.

¶2Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as per the decree passed in O.S.No.377 of 1990, the petitioner intended to maintain the wall belonging to him, for which, respondent No.3 is raising objections. Learned counsel for the third respondent objects his submissions stating that the petitioner has constructed up to the edge of his site and in order to maintain the wall, the petitioner has to necessarily enter into the land belonging to the third respondent, thereby, according to him, it amounts to violation of the decree passed in favour of the petitioner himself.

¶3Learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) submits that the police has not received any petition from the petitioner seeking police protection. The petitioner is, therefore, directed to file fresh application before the Police and on which, the respondents 1 and 2 are directed to closely examine the issue and provide police protection only, in case, if the petitioner's request for maintenance of wall within the decree passed in O.S.No.377 of 1990. The police is further requested to give notice to the third respondent and take a decision after hearing of him.

¶4With the above observation, this Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of.
