5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the order dated O5.L2.2O23 in E.A.No. I of 2022, contravenes the law ald probabilities of the case, potentially causing a grave miscarriage of justice. He further submitted that despite adjudication of the suit, the respondents/judgment debtors are making illegal constructions, violating the order of the Court and that the Court below failed to understand the facts, notably that respondent Nos.2 to S/judgment debtors 2 to 5 are interfering with the peaceful possession of petitioners of their land in Sy.No.63/2, Kondampet village, in contravention of the perpetual injunction order obtained by the petitioners in O.S No.50 of 2OO9 on O3.O1.2O18.

6. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submitted that the Court below erred in dismissing E.A.No. I of 2022 due to insufl-rcient evidence, despite police complaints and registratioi of crimes i.e., Crime Nos.42, 118, 119 and 129 of 2022, demonstrating the continuous disobedience and harassment of the respondents. He further submitted that failure to implement the order would result in the petitioners losing their rights due to the illegal constructions of the respondents and that the Court below overlooked crucial facts 4 SI(s,J C.Rl,.I{o.766 of 2024 .l and evidencc presented by the petitioners.

7. On thc other hand, learned counsel appezrr,ng on behalf of the respondents hled counter affidavit rl:nying the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners stating that thc claim of petitioners that they wor.rld lose their rights o[ their lancl in Survey No.63/2, if the order in E.A.No.1 of '2022 is not irnplemented, is false, as responde nts are not constructing in their land.

8. Learned r:ounsel for the respondents further submitted that petitioners lailed to adduce evidence before (lourt below and did not disclose death of petitioner No.1 prior to Decr-'mber 2O22. 'lhe Court below noted the failure of / f sr(s,J C.RP.No.766 of 2024 I I petitioners in adducing evidence, obserwing that they did not approach the Court with clean hands. Therefore, there is no illegality in the order and the Court below has rightly passed the order. Hence, prayed the Court to dismiss the civil revision petition. g. In the light of the submissions made by both the learned counsel and a perusal of the material available on record, the suit is decreed in favour of revision petitioners herein and after obtaining decree, petitioners [iled Execution Petition which is pending before the trial Court' During pendency of the said E.P, as the respondents are interfering with the possession of the petitioners, they hled the said E'A'

10. The contention of learned counsel lor the respondents is that respondents are in possession of property and there are 'respondents are having documents in their favour- Whether, documents or whether they are in possession of the property or not has to be decided by the trial Court' The criminal case filed by the petitioners against the respondents shows that respondents are interfering with the propert5z of petitioners even after the injunction order, as such, to enjoy the fruits of decree, it is the duty of the Court to see that the decree is 6 SKS,J C.R-P No.766 of 2024 implemented. 'lhe trial Court referred to the ju.dgment in Polavarapu Nagamani and others Vs Parchuri Koteshwara Rao and othersl wherein it is observed that poli<:e have no role in civil ad-ludication and the Courts shorrld be very cautious and i,igilant not to introduce police intr:rvention in civil adjudication at the instance of plaintiff. Whr:n the order of the Courl is violated, the aggrieved person has to neccssaril-y fik' r.xecu [ion petition or an application seeking attachment and /or arrest of the violator for contr:lnpt of the court order, [hat when an application is filed by the person obtaining ad-inrcrim injunction alieging that there is threat of breach, disobccli<:nce or violation of the order of injunction, subject to proof, thc Court has power to or-cter police protection. I n the pre sent case, the petition is dismissed stating [hat excr:pt relying on their own _affidavit, no evidence was lead to pr()vc that the respondents have interl'ered with the possession ol pctitioners, whereas the trial CotLrt failed to consider that the pctitioner approached the police lor redressal and tlrcv havc not given aid. The suit for permanent injunction is der:reed observing interference of resporrdent and when E. P., is fi lcd, the Court has to see that decrer: holder to ' (2010) 2 Ar_D 4 1 ,l { SKS,J C.R-P.No.766 of 2024 enjoy the fruits of decree. Further, Order XXI Rule 32 (5) also says that any of the process can be adopted. Considering the circumstances narrated in the affidavit hled by the petitioner, this Civil Revision petition is allowed setting aside the- impugned order of the trial Court. The trial Court is directed to give directions to ttre concerned SHO to give police aid in case of interference. No costs. Miscellaneous petitions, pending, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/. A.V.S.
