4. It is the case of the prosecution that as between the accused and the defacto complainant there are two civil suits pending with respect to property at Madhanacheri Village, Murukkankuttai, Vaniyambadi Taluk in Tirupathur District. The first suit in O.S.No.116 of 2022 filed by A1 and another suit in O.S.No.7 of 2024 filed by the defacto complainant. When the two suits are pending, it is only appropriate that all the parties to the suit and every body else should abide by the decision taken by the Civil Court . But, however it appears that all the accused, had taken two J.C.Bs and one tractor and had demolished the compound wall of the defacto complainant. It is contended that he had constructed the compound wall in the property of the first accused. But since the suits are pending, judicial remedy should had been taken re-course to. The Court cannot accept the contention of the law being taken in the hands of the accused persons.

5. The learned counsel appearing for A4 stated that A4 was not all in the scene of occurrence and there are CCTC footage to establish the same. Alibi is an issue which can be established only during the course of trial.
