The main grievance of the petitioners is that respondents 3 & 4 are interfering with the construction being carried on by the petitioners and also in the civil disputes pending between the petitioners and respondents 5 & 6 and that on 09.07.2016, respondents 3 & 4 again called the petitioners to the police station and made their family members to sit in the police station for hours together and they also abused the petitioners in filthy language.

Considering the grievance of the petitioners, respondents 3 & 4 are directed not to interfere with the affairs of the petitioners and respondents 5 & 6, more particularly, with the civil disputes pending between them. However, this order will not stand in the way of

respondents 3 & 4 to register a case, if any complaint is lodged against the petitioners for cognizable offence.
