¶2In respect of issue between the parties in S.A(MD) Now.238 of 2023 to 240 of 2023 is pending before this Court. According the petitioner, pending second appeal, the private respondent trespassed into the property and caused damage by closing the pathway, for which complaint was also given by the petitioner seeking police protection and for taking action.
