The petitioners claim to be members of an<\/p>\n<p>organization by name Iringole Jacobite Syrian Christian<\/p>\n<p>Yuva Jana Sangham.         According to the petitioners, the<\/p>\n<p>property was purchased in the name of the Sangham by<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 sale deed in 1963. Thereafter, the property was in<\/p>\n<p>the possession of the said Sangham.              According to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners, the second respondent has no rights in respect<\/p>\n<p>of the said property. The second respondent, according to<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners, is a person of questionable antecedents. He<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc No.38311\/2010           2<\/span><\/p>\n<p> is attempting to physically obstruct the petitioners from<\/p>\n<p> enjoyment of the property. He is indulging in violent acts.<\/p>\n<p> In these circumstances, the petitioners have come to this<\/p>\n<p> Court seeking police protection.\n<\/p>\n<p>        3. Notice was given to the respondents. The learned<\/p>\n<p> Government Pleader appears for the first respondent &#8211; Sub<\/p>\n<p> Inspector of Police. The second respondent is represented<\/p>\n<p> by a counsel.\n<\/p>\n<p>        4. The learned counsel for the second respondent<\/p>\n<p> submits that the petitioners have no locus whatsoever to<\/p>\n<p> represent the Yuva Jana Sangam which had acquired the<\/p>\n<p> property under Ext.P1. They do not even claim to be the<\/p>\n<p> office bearers of the said Sangham. They only claim to be<\/p>\n<p> members of the Sangham.          According to the second<\/p>\n<p> respondent, the Sangham by a decision of its general body<\/p>\n<p> on 7.7.2010 had decided to give the property in favour of<\/p>\n<p> Perumbavur Bathel Suloco Jacobite Suriani Cathedrel. The<\/p>\n<p> second respondent who is the Parish priest of the said<\/p>\n<p> Cathedral had represented the Cathedral in the document.<\/p>\n<p> The document, a copy of which is produced as Ext.R2(a) is<\/p>\n<p> seen dated 15.11.2010. It is seen executed in favour of the<\/p>\n<p> said Church represented by the second respondent and two<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc No.38311\/2010          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p> other trustees of the church. The gift is made subject to<\/p>\n<p> conditions which are enumerated in Ext.R2(a).          After<\/p>\n<p> execution of the document Ext.R2(a) mutation has been<\/p>\n<p> effected in the name of the transferree church.    Ext.R2(b)<\/p>\n<p> evidences payment of tax by the transferree.       Ext.R2(c)<\/p>\n<p> Possession Certificate has been issued by the Village<\/p>\n<p> Officer, Perumbavur and that certificate dated 30.12.2010<\/p>\n<p> also suggests that the transferree under Ext.R2(a) is in<\/p>\n<p> possession of the property.       Ext.R2(d) certificate of<\/p>\n<p> ownership indicates that the church is the owner of the<\/p>\n<p> building in that property. That certificate is issued by the<\/p>\n<p> Secretary of the Rayamangalam Grama Panchayat.<\/p>\n<p>        5. The learned counsel for the second respondent<\/p>\n<p> submits that the Yuva Jana Sangham claiming to act through<\/p>\n<p> its Secretary has filed a suit O.A.No.284\/2010 before the<\/p>\n<p> Munsiff&#8217;s Court, Perumbavur.    Interim orders were also<\/p>\n<p> prayed for. No orders have been passed and the suit is<\/p>\n<p> pending before the Perumbavur Munsiff&#8217;s Court.<\/p>\n<p>        6. The learned counsel for the second respondent<\/p>\n<p> submits that in these circumstances, the petitioners who do<\/p>\n<p> not even claim to be the office bearers of the Yuva Jana<\/p>\n<p> Sangham cannot be permitted to claim police protection<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc No.38311\/2010            4<\/span><\/p>\n<p> over the property over which their rights have not been<\/p>\n<p> established.    According to the second respondent, the said<\/p>\n<p> suit is also not filed by the Secretary and a person claiming<\/p>\n<p> to be the Secretary has filed this Suit. In any case, the<\/p>\n<p> petitioners cannot claim right, title or possession over the<\/p>\n<p> property nor can they claim police protection.         Before<\/p>\n<p> dispute regarding such rights are settled, the attempt to<\/p>\n<p> claim police protection cannot be justified.<\/p>\n<p>        7. The learned Government Pleader, after taking<\/p>\n<p> instructions, submits that a complaint was received from<\/p>\n<p> some persons claiming to represent the Sangham. A crime<\/p>\n<p> was registered as Crime No.846\/2010 of Kuruppampady<\/p>\n<p> Police Station. After investigation, on coming to know of<\/p>\n<p> Ext.R2(a) gift deed, in the absence of any better material to<\/p>\n<p> indicate that the petitioners and such others have rights<\/p>\n<p> over the property, steps have not been taken to prosecute<\/p>\n<p> the second respondent. At any rate, the police cannot sit in<\/p>\n<p> judgment over the right, title and possession of the parties.<\/p>\n<p> The parties may be directed to seek appropriate orders from<\/p>\n<p> the Civil Court in the pending proceedings or in the<\/p>\n<p> proceedings to be initiated hereafter.      At any rate, the<\/p>\n<p> learned Government Pleader submits that the police cannot<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc No.38311\/2010            5<\/span><\/p>\n<p> decide the disputed right, title and possession of the parties.<\/p>\n<p>        8. We have considered all the relevant inputs. We have<\/p>\n<p> gone through Ext.P1 and Ext.P2. We note that nothing is<\/p>\n<p> produced to indicate that the petitioners are representatives<\/p>\n<p> of the Yuva Jana Sangham or are competent to represent the<\/p>\n<p> Yuva Jana Sangham now. We do not intend to express any<\/p>\n<p> opinion on the disputed rights of the parties. Suffice it to<\/p>\n<p> say that we are satisfied that before the question of rights of<\/p>\n<p> the parties is resolved by initiating appropriate proceedings<\/p>\n<p> before the competent civil court, no directions under Article<\/p>\n<p> 226 are liable to be issued. The police cannot be entrusted<\/p>\n<p> with the responsibility of resolving such disputes and<\/p>\n<p> therefore, no writ can be issued to the police to decide such<\/p>\n<p> disputes and grant protection to one of the contestants.<\/p>\n<p>        9. This writ petition is in these circumstances<\/p>\n<p> dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       R.BASANT<br \/>\n                                          JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                  K.SURENDRA MOHAN<br \/>\n                                          JUDGE<\/p>\n<p> css\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Melbi Mathai vs The Sub Insepctor Of Police on 27 January, 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 38311 of 2010(L) 1.
