ORDER
No representation for the respondents 3 and 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he has given a representation seeking for police protection, the first respondent has not acted upon the same. He has filed the present petition seeking for direction.
2. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the subject property bearing Door Nos.29 and 29-A, Karaikattu Chokkalingam Street, Chidambaram Town belongs to him and his possession and title had been directed by a final decree in I.A.No.320 of 2008 in O.S.No.34 of 1990 dated 16.11.2011. In view of the same, the respondents 3 and 4 are disturbing and creating problems in her peaceful possession and enjoyment. The petitioner had the benefit of Civil Court's decree in O.S.No.34 of 1999, dated 16.11.2011. Hence, it would be appropriate to direct the
second respondent to consider the petitioner's request for extending police protection. Consequently, the petitioner is granted liberty to approach the second respondent, seeking for necessary protection and by making an appropriate application. On receipt of such application, the second respondent shall consider the same in the light of the Civil Court's Decree in her favour and pass appropriate orders, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The second respondent shall also give an opportunity to the 3rd and 4th respondents herein while passing such an order.
