7. Kalaimathi W/o.Rathnavel, Residing at Vallalar nagar, Nakkambaadi Village, Senthurai Taluk, ..Respondents Prayer : Writ Petition (Criminal) filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, to issue a Writ of Mandamus, directing the 4th respondent to give protection to Petitioner and Petitioner's family and vacate the 6th and 7th respondent from the property by virtue of complaint dated 10.04.2026 within the stipulated time as fixed by this Honble Court. For Petitioner:

Mr.S.Kumara Devan For Respondents:

Mr.R.Ganesh Kumar Counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu (Criminal Side) for R1 to R4.

ORDER

This Writ Petition (Criminal) has been filed seeking a direction to the fourth respondent to provide adequate police protection to evict the respondents 6 and 7 respondents from the property purchased by the petitioner.

2.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondents 1 to 4. Perused the materials available on record. 3.

According to the petitioner, subsequent to the purchase of the property, the respondents 6 and 7 trespassed into the property. 4.

It is seen from the records that a civil dispute is pending in respect of the property between the petitioner's vendor and the respondents 5 and 6 herein. It is settled law that the police protection cannot be granted to evict the parties from an immovable property where civil rights are yet to be adjudicated. Therefore, the petitioner ought to have approached the competent Civil Court for appropriate reliefs against the respondents 5 to 7 herein. 5.

In view of the above, the prayer sought for in this petition cannot be granted. Thus, the writ petition lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this Writ Petition (Criminal) stands dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the Civil Court for appropriate relief. No costs.
