VINOD KUMAR Writ Petition Nos.10243. 10258. 10307 and 10318 ot 2O25 COMMON ORDER: Since the grievance of the petitioners in all these Writ Petitions is one and the same, they are being disposed of by this common order.

2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 6 in all these Writ Petitions, and with the consent of the learned counsel appearing for the pafties, the Writ Petitions are taken up for hearing and disposal at the admission stage.

3. Having regard to the manner of disposal of the Writ Petitions at the admission stage and the nature of rrc involved, this Court is of the view that notice to unofficial respondent Nos.7 to 15 in all the Writ Petitions is not necessary for adjudication of the present Writ Petitions.

4. The case of the petitioners in all these Writ Petitions, in brief, is that they are the 6ona r/de purchasers of the subject plots/land situated at Shivaji Nagar, Kammaguda Village, Turkayamjalzal Municipality, Abdullapurmet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, from their previous vendors, obtained permissions from the concerned GHMC, made constructions and are living therein. 2 -- Yr

5. It is the further case of the petitioners that the unofficial respondents herein are now claiming the subject land by virtue of the final decree dt.09.09.2024 passed in O.S.No.361 of 1984 by the I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar, which was filed by the unofficial respondents herein for partition of the subject property; that though the suit was pending at the time when the petitioners purchased the subject plots, they were not made pafties to the aforesaid suit, nor informed of the pendency of the said suit; and thus, being, 6ooa de purchasers, they are to be protected from inteference being caused by the unofficial respondents herein, who are seeking to dispossess them from their respective plots.

6. Petitioners further contend that since, the unofficial respondents are seeking to dispossess the petitioners from the subject land, they had approached the respondents-authorities by submitting representations seeking for police protection to their life and liberty and also to their property, and in spite of the petitioners approaching respondents- authorities, the respondents-authorities are not extending the required protection, which action of the respondents-authorities it is contended as highly illegal and arbitrary.

7. pet contra, learned Government Pleader for Home appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.1 to 6 would submit that the petitioners claim themselves to be the purchasers of the suit schedule property, which 3 originally belong to Kosika Pentaiah and 10 others, represented by their ! I Power of Attorney Holders, who sold the subject plots to various people by executing registered sale deeds, even though the subject property was subject matter of suit, vrae O.S.No.361 of 1984. . B. Learned Government Pleader would further submit that the petitioners had purchased the subject property during the pendency of the proceedings before the competent Court of civil jurisdiction, vide O.S.No.361 of 1984, which is ended in favour of the unofficial respondents herein.

9. Learned Government Pleader further submits that since the petitioners dr€ psa4gals /lte purchasers from the persons Claiming themselves to be the owners of the suit schedule property, pefltioners cannot claim any better title than the one enjoyed by their vendors.

10. Learned Government Pleader further submits that since, the unofficial respondents herein have succeeded in the suit, the request of the petitioners for being provided with police protection to their life and liberty as well as to their property cannot be considered by the authorities.

11. Learned Government Pleader would further submit that if the petitioners are aggrieved by the decree passed by the concerned Civil Court, in respect of the suit schedule property, yroe O.S.No.361 of 1984, they have to avail civil remedies provided under law and cannot approach 4 the respondents-authorities seeking police aid, without taking further action in assailing the said judgment and decree.

12. I have taken note of the respective contentions urged.

13. Though the petitioners claim themselves to be 6ona de purchasers of the subject lands from their vendors and are not being parties to the suit, it is to be noted that the original owner of the suit schedule property was a party to the suit, yioe O.S.No.361 of 1984 and the said party having sold the subject property during the pendency of the suit, the same would be covered by doctrine of ,s pende4s provided under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.

14. Fufther, the petitioners, who claim themselves to be 6oaa r/de purchasers of subject plots/land, are required to assail the final decree dt.09.09.2024, if they are aggrieved by the said decree passed against their vendor's vendor.

15. Since, it is not shown to this Court of the petitioners taking any steps to assail the judgment and decree dt.09.09.2024, in O.S.No.361 of 1984, this Court is of the view that the petitioners cannot approach the respondents-authorities and seek for police protection to themselves or to their property, thereby, frustrating the decree obtained by the successful party to the civil srJit, r,roe O.S.No.361 of 1984. I I I i I I i 5

16. Further, it is also to be noted that if the petitioners claim of themselves not being aware of'pending litigation and thus being 6ona rroe purchasers, they are required to initiate action against their vendor and vendor's vendor, since, the sale deeds, under which the subject property has been purchased by them, provide for indemnity, in the event of any defect in title.

77. For the above reason, this Court is of the view that the petitioners should be relegated to avail the civil remedies, against the judgment and decree dt.09.09.2024 in O.S.No.361 of 1984, instead of approaching the respondents-authorities and seeking for police protection, as noted above.

18. Subject to above observation, the Writ Petitions are disposed of. No order as to costs.

19. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in these writ petltions shall stand closed. Date:07.04.2025 GJ T. VINOD KUMA& J 6 THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE T. VINOD KUMAR Writ Petition Nos.1O243. 10268, 10307 and 1O318 of 2025
