The<\/p>\n<p>respondents 3 and 4 attempted several rounds of litigations to establish<\/p>\n<p>their rights over that property. All those efforts became futile. Finally, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner moved the civil court and obtained Ext.P1 judgment and Ext.P1<\/p>\n<p>(a) decree against them. The party respondents and their men were<\/p>\n<p>restrained from interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of<\/p>\n<p>the plaint schedule property by the petitioner and from trespassing into it.<\/p>\n<p>Even thereafter, the respondents 3 and 4 are not ready to respect the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s right over the property. When he went there with his workmen<\/p>\n<p>to do agricultural operations, he was prevented, threatened and driven back<\/p>\n<p>by the said respondents. So, the petitioner preferred Ext.P2 petition before<\/p>\n<p>the police to take appropriate action against respondents 3 and 4.<\/p>\n<p>       2. A reading of Ext.P2 would show that the overt acts from the part<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC 16875\/08                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of respondents 3 and 4 amount to violation of Ext.P1(a) decree obtained by<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner. If the decree is violated, the remedy of the petitioner does<\/p>\n<p>not lie before the Police Station, but before the competent civil court. The<\/p>\n<p>police cannot be conferred power or jurisdiction to decide on the allegation<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioner that the judgment debtors have violated the decree obtained<\/p>\n<p>by him. In view of the above position, the Writ Petition is not maintainable.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, it is dismissed without prejudice to the contentions of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner and his right to move the competent civil court for appropriate<\/p>\n<p>reliefs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nm\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Krishna Moorthy vs The District Superintendent Of on 6 June, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 16875 of 2008(H) 1.
