In spite of service of notice private respondents are not represented.

However, State respondents are represented by learned advocates.

It is submitted by the learned advocate representing the petitioner that petitioner's right over the property in question is at stake due to interference by the private respondents prompting the petitioner to approach this Court with the present writ petition seeking direction upon the concerned police authority to protect his right over the property in question. 5.

On behalf of the State respondents a communication dated 19th June, 2026 of Inspector-in-Charge, Amdanga Police Station, Barasat PD, North 24 Parganas is filed and same is taken on record. Copy of the said communication dated 19th June, 2026 is made over to the learned advocate representing the petitioner.

Concerned police authorities are directed to maintain peace and tranquility at the locale and to see that no untoward incident takes place.
