2. Having regard to the manner of disposal of the writ petition and the nature of /rs involved, and since respondent Nos.7 & g are arrayed by name as Eo Nomine, this Court is of the view that notice to the said respondents is not necessary for adjudication of the present Writ petition.

3. The case of the petitioners, in brief, is that the respondents No.5 & 6, rvho are arrayed by name as Eo Nomine as respondent Nos.7 & 8, are interfering with the petitioners, right to property and a.lso interfering with their life and liberty in the name of conducting investigation into crime No.27 /2025, dt. 11.01.2025, which action of the respondents-authoritres it is contencied as highly illegat, arbitraqr, with a consequential direction to 2 .t respondent Nos.2 & 3 to initiate disciplinary tr.,roceedings against respondent Nos.7 & B, for overreaching their pc,lice duties. 4.
