-vs- The State of W.B. & ors.

Mr. Abhishek Halder Ms. Madhurima Basu ...for the petitioners Mr. Wasim Ahmed Mr. Sk. Md. Masud ....for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners ssi Ct 14 submits as follows. The petitioners are owning the property in question since 2011. They were gifted this property by their relative. The boundary wall surrounding the property is in a dilapidated condition. The petitioners went to repair the same. But the local goons have prevented the same. They are threatening and intimidating the petitioners and trying to extort money.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State, upon instructions, submits that there is no civil dispute pending in respect of the property. However, inquiry does not reveal that any local miscreant has prevented the petitioners from entering into the property or from repairing any damaged wall.

It appears that there is no civil dispute pending regarding the ownership of the property in question. The petitioners only want to repair a boundary wall to protect

their property.

Let the police authorities provide necessary police picket for the petitioners to repair their damage boundary wall in a span of 2 to 3 days upon payment of necessary charges for such picket. Necessary representation in this regard be made by the petitioners within a week from this date.

Even otherwise, the police shall keep a sharp vigil at the locale to maintain peace. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. Parties shall act on a server copy downloaded from the official website of this Court.
