What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

Interim direction made absolute: respondent police authorities directed not to interfere with the petitioner's civil disputes, save and except in strict accordance with law; no order as to costs; pending miscellaneous petitions stand closed.

Issue for consideration

Whether the action of the respondent police authorities in interfering with the civil dispute registered under O.S.No.123 of 2017 on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Parkal, District Warangal is illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14, 21 and 300(A) of the Constitution of India, and whether the respondents ought to be directed to desist from such interference. +1 more

Court's answer

The respondent police authorities are directed not to interfere with the civil disputes of the petitioner, save and except in strict accordance with law.

Ratio / Principle

Having regard to the situation, and as the interim direction had evidently redressed the grievance of the petitioner, the Court considered it appropriate to make the interim direction absolute.

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Writ petition under Article 226 by an agriculturist alleging that respondent police authorities were interfering with his civil dispute in O.S.No.123 of 2017 on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Parkal, District Warangal, seeking a writ of mandamus declaring such interference illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14, 21 and 300(A) of the Constitution and directing the respondents to desist. None appeared for the petitioner; the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submitted that the police were not interfering, that the allegations were unfounded, and that the Court's interim direction dated 03.10.2017 had effectively redressed the grievance, the petitioner not pursuing the matter. The Court, noting that the interim direction had evidently redressed the grievance, made the interim direction absolute, directing the respondent police authorities not to interfere with the petitioner's civil disputes save and except in strict accordance with law, and disposed of the writ petition with no order as to costs; pending miscellaneous petitions were closed.
