O R D E R
The prayer in the present petition is for extending police protection to the petitioner for fencing his land bearing Survey No.59/10, R.Pudupalayam Village, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal District.
2. It is seen that the petitioner had the benefit of judgment and decree of the Civil Court dated 05.10.2009 passed in O.S.No.165 of 2005, which has been confirmed in the judgment and decree made in A.S.No.20 of 2010 dated 18.09.2010. Apart from that, another judgment in O.S.No.83 of 2013 dated 23.11.2015 is also in his favour as against the respondents 3 & 4 herein. In spite of having Civil Court's judgment and decree in favour of the petitioner, the respondents 3 & 4 herein are obstructing him from fencing his subject land. Hence, it would be appropriate to extend the police protection.
3. In the result, the petitioner is granted liberty to approach the third respondent seeking police protection for fencing his land situated in Survey No.59/10, R.Pudupalayam Village, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal District and on receipt of such representation, the third respondent shall consider the same in the light of the above observations and the judgment and decree of the Civil Court and extend the necessary police protection to the petitioner. Such an exercise shall be completed within a period of 2 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Criminal Original Petition stands allowed accordingly.
