ORDER This petition has been filed seeking a direction to the first respondent to provide police protection to the petitioner pursuant to his representation dated
30.04.2026, in the light of the decree dated 14.11.2014 passed in O.S. No. 9 of 2010 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Theni, which was subsequently confirmed by the judgment and decree dated 07.01.2026 passed in A.S. No. 72 of 2014 on the file of the Sub Court, Theni.
¶2The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that respondents 2 and 3 are causing interference with the petitioner's peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property, notwithstanding the decree dated 14.11.2014 passed in O.S.

No. 72 of 2014 on the file of the Sub Court, Theni, in favour of the petitioner. In these circumstances, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 30.04.2026 to the respondent police seeking protection. Since no action has been taken on the said representation, the present writ petition has been filed.
¶3The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent police on instructions submitted that already the representation has been received and an enquiry is pending.
¶4Heard the learned counsel on either side and carefully perused the materials before this Court. Since no adverse order is proposed to be passed against the private respondents, notice to them is dispensed with.
¶5Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, the first respondent police is directed to put the petitioner as well as the private respondents on notice under Section 64 BNSS and dispose of the petitioner's representation dated 30.04.2026, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
