However, the third respondent is unnecessarily interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the said property. He further submitted that the third respondent is continuously hindering the ongoing construction in the said land, which has been commenced by the petitioner and his wife, without any rhyme or reason. It is also submitted that the second respondent police is insisting on payment of money as demanded by him. Hence, the present petition has been filed.
