Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are in peaceful possession of the agricultural land, details of which are mentioned in para No.2 of the petition. On a previous occasion, on account of threats issued by private respondents No.5 to 8 to forcibly encroach from the said peaceful possession of the said dispute agricultural land, petitioners were compelled to file a civil suit against them (private respondents No.5 to 8 herein). After going through the documents on record, interim injunction is granted in favour of the petitioners/plaintiffs. Despite that, as has been submitted by learned counsel, private respondents No.5 to 8 are still trying to take possession of the dispute land forcibly and are threatening them time and again.
