ORDER
The petitioner has already filed a Civil Suit against the 5th respondent. After filing the suit, the petitioner has sent a representation to the respondents herein stating that the 5th respondent is using his power as an official with the police Department and threatening the petitioner with henchmen. The learned counsel for the 5th respondent herein submits that the representation is bogus and the 5th respondent is being targeted unnecessarily, even though the suit has been already been filed in O.S.No.278 of 2021.
2.The learned counsel for the official respondents 1 to 4 submits that after the suit was filed, the whereabout of the petitioner is not know and that the petitioner appears to have sold the property to an advocate who answered the phone call and had refused to co-operate with the respondents. Considering the fact, that the petitioner has already filed a suit in O.S.No.278 of 21 before the District Munsif Court, Alandur, therefore there is no merits in the present writ petition to direct respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner. All the same, while dismissing this writ petition, the 5th respondent against whom the petitioner has filed O.S.No.278 of 2021 before the District Munsif Court at Alandur shall not resort to any coercive measures or use his clout as an Inspector of Police against the petitioner.
3.This Writ petition is dismissed with the above observations. No costs.
