Quick Summary: In a recent court decision, Judge N. Tukaramji ruled that the police shouldn't interfere with Smt. K. Vijaya Lakshmi's land in Balapur Village unless they have a legal reason.

The Case: Land Dispute in Balapur Village

Smt. K. Vijaya Lakshmi filed a request in court under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution. She wanted the court to stop the police from getting involved with her land in Balapur Village, Saroornagar Mandal, R.R. District. The land is about 2.05½ acres.

Petitioner Absent, But the Case Moves On

Interestingly, no one came to represent Smt. Vijaya Lakshmi in court. Despite this, the case continued with arguments from the other side.

Government's Side of the Story

Mr. R. Laxmikanth Reddy, the Assistant Government Lawyer for Home, spoke for the state and other parties. He said that the police never got involved with the petitioner's land. He argued that the claims were without basis and asked the court to dismiss the request.

"The claims against the respondents are unfounded," said Mr. R. Laxmikanth Reddy.

The Court's Decision

After looking at the evidence, Judge N. Tukaramji instructed the police not to interfere with Smt. Vijaya Lakshmi's land rights unless they have a legal reason.

"Respondents are directed to refrain from interfering with the possession and enjoyment of the landed property," ruled Judge N. Tukaramji.

Final Word

The court closed the case with this instruction, and there were no costs ordered. Any pending additional requests were also closed.

This decision highlights the importance of following legal steps before interfering with someone's property rights.
