The limited prayer sought for in the present writ petition is to direct the first respondent to investigate the complaints lodged by the petitioner on 21.06.2019 and 15.07.2019 as against the second respondent herein and to take action on the second respondent herein. The petitioner had also sought a direction to the first respondent to provide police protection to the retail outlet of the petitioner.

¶11

2.The subject matter of the complaint revolves around the property, which, the petitioner herein claims to have purchased from Ambattur Oragadam Co-operative Building Society Limited and the complaint of the petitioner is that the second respondent is interfering with the ingress and egress of the petitioner into the said premises and disrupting the construction activity. In this regard, the petitioner filed a suit in O.S.No.164 of 2019 seeking permanent injunction and the same is pending.

¶12

3.Though the dispute with regard to the possession or title is pending before the Civil Court, any disruption caused in the property will give a right to the owner to lodge a Criminal complaint.
