.Shaik Basha v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.21673 OF 2017 ORDER:

This Writ Petition, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, came to be filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents-Police in harassing, threatening and directing the petitioners to settle the civil disputes with respondents 4 and 5, as illegal and arbitrary.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. With their consent, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission itself. Since this Court is not going into the merits of the case, there is no necessity to issue notice to unofficial respondents. Though various grounds are raised in the writ petition, the learned counsel for the petitioners restricts his prayer seeking a direction to respondents-Police not to interfere with the civil disputes, which are pending between the petitioners and unofficial respondents.

Learned Assistant Government Pleader denies the allegations made in the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition and submits that the respondents-Police never interfered with the civil disputes, which are pending between the parties. Having regard to the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents-Police not to interfere with the civil disputes pending between the petitioners and unofficial respondents herein. However, if they intend to take any action

against the petitioners, they shall follow the procedure established under law.

Miscellaneous petitions pending in this writ petition, if any, shall stand closed. No costs.
