Angamuthu v. The Superintendent of Police

ORDER This Criminal Original Petition has been filed, invoking Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking orders to direct the 2nd respondent to give adequate Police Protection for life and limb of the Petitioner and his family members on the basis of the petitioner's representation dated 26.07.2023.

¶2It is an issue between the tenant and the owner of the property. Seeking Police protection, the petitioner sent a representation dated

26.07.2023.

¶3There is no representation for the petitioner.

¶4The learned counsel for the third respondent is present and stated that the petitioner approached this Court for a relief in W.P(MD) No.8215 of 2017 to direct the Inspector of Police, Melur Police Station, Madurai, not to interfere the dispute between him and the third respondent. That was disposed of by directing the petitioner to approach the concerned Civil Court for appropriate remedy.

¶5The learned counsel for the third respondent would submit that one Kaliyappan filed a suit in O.S.No.533 of 2004 for permanent injunction that was allowed, over which, the third respondent filed appeal in A.S.No.11 of 2005 before the Sub Court, Melur, that was allowed. Not satisfied with the decree passed by the concerned trial Court, second appeal was filed by one Sudanthiradevi and others in S.A(MD) No.342 of 2013, that was dismissed and S.L.P was filed by them, that was also came to be dismissed at the admission stage itself.

¶6But however, the petitioner claims that he was put in possession by one Kaliyappan and from 1999 onwards he is in possession.

¶7It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the third respondent that inspite of failure in several rounds of litigation, this petition has been filed seeking Police protection, on the ground that the third respondent alleged to have broke open the shop, trespassed into the same and occupied.

¶8In view of the above said history, whether this petitioner was put in possession by the said Kaliyappan from 1999 cannot be the matter for consideration by the civil Court and not by the respondent herein. When the litigations, failed against the said Kaliyappan, then this petitioner cannot claim any legal possession over the property. So, the representation that is made by the petitioner seeking Police protection is completely out of place and cannot be entertained. I find no reason to issue any direction to the respondents.

¶9Hence, this petition is dismissed.
