• Police help in recovery of possession

Dear Sir, I own  21 cents of Agriland in my town.One of my relative have filed a civil case against me in 2002 for permanent injunction with fake lease deed and entered into my land , finally failed in all the lower courts and in second appeal too. In between the case my relative has subleased the land to a rowdy with a very big back ground. Now I have applied execution petition, My question is my opponent is a very big local rowdy as my lawyer is a pure Civil lawyer, I am afraid that how will I take the possession, that rowdy has put a tea stall making a Hut and also a Compound and Cultivating crops inside the land, but all the records are in my name. My lawyer has told me that  Police help can be taken from the Court later , but still is there any provision in Criminal side to take any police help for taking possession through Magistrate court after my Execution judgment. Or any other suggestions please .I am looking forward for your valuable opinion and thanks in advance.

Dear Client,

You can file criminal complaint through court against relative and Rowdy, u/s 420, 467, 468, 471, 102b IPC. That relative conspired with the rowdy and sublease/sold your property to him even when court declined his title in the property. Criminal trespass, cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy.

And, once execution is order, court official will go to recover possession of property with the aid of local police which cannot be postponed. Press on execution petition.

To implement the order passed by civil court you can seek remedy under section 151 cpc for police help.

Once the court passes order directing police implementing the order police is obliged to do so. If it fails to execute the order you can file writ petition in high court seeking issuance of writ of mandamus against police inaction.

Once writ court passes order the police would-be bound to act as per direction of court.

you should issue legal notice to rowdy to vacate possession of the premises

2) enclose copy of court orders

3)Civil Rule 208 provides for execution of a writ with the aid of police. Order 21 Rule 97 of the Code provides for adjudication of an application made thereunder complaining resistance and obstruction by any one in obtaining possession of the property by the holder of a decree for possession of immovable property or by the purchaser of any such property sold in execution of a decree.

4)court can grant police help to the decree holder under section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code, on an application under Order 21 Rule 35 of the Code filed by the decree holder. The order granting police help under section 151 of the Code is an ordinary mode or procedure to implement the execution of a decree.

Dear client,

You have to file a separate criminal.complaint against the trespassers with your local police station under IPC 447 , 449.

No one is above law, even if your lawyer is a civil lawyer it does not make any difference in eyes of law pertaining to crime.

Let your existing case go along with a fresh case under IPC 447.( kindly file immediately ) you can also add other sections in IPC covering death threat IPC 506 , criminal conspiracy 120B.

Hello,

Yes if the criminal activities are going on in your land and you are unable to take possession of your land due to his high handedness then the police will come to your help.

Please file criminal complaint under jurisdiction police for trespass into your property against rowdy element along with your relative for forgery and fabricating false evidence in court. Secondly under civil law you can take police help through court to get back possession of your property. In case police don't accept your complaint move to jurisdiction court for filing private complaint under section 200 of crpc.

In execution proceedings, a petition can be filed for obstruction and the court may grant sufficient security to clear the encroachment.

1. Apply for temporary injunction in the court along with your execution petition. That would be of help. Then the Court will be able to give the requisite orders to the Police.

2. Consult municipal department of the area in which the land is situated about the legality of the opposite party opening a tea stall on an agricultural land. If it comes out to be illegal, you have one more ground in your favour to put in front of the magistrate while applying for temporary injunction. Also, the municipal department can demolish the tea stall installed by the opposite party.

3. There are provisions in CPC wherein you can ask the court to give instructions to police to help you.

Hi..,

There are three ways in which a decree can be executed:

1. arrest and detention of the Principle Debtor.

2. Confiscation of the Property with the help of the Police and handing over to the Decree Holder.

3. Sale of the Property and handing out the proceeds of the sale to decree holder.

You can opt for the second method, and bribe the policemen who are appointed, they will do the job.

Thanks

You have still not got any degree or temporary injunction order in your favour.

1.You can file petition u/s 151 cpc for direction of court for police help.

2. If the court allows police to do the needful as per petition under CPC 151.

Dear Sir,

You must say that you are in legal possession of property. Never say in any affidavit that you are ousted out from the possession. If such contention taken then you have to file again another suit for possession against the rowdy fellow and earlier plaintiff. Suit for permanent injunction was rejected but whether any finding was given that you are in legal possession. If it is so then ask your advocate to file application under section 151 CPC to extend police help to protect your possession and forget about illegal tea stall and temporary compound walls. If such application is rejected prefer appeal/revision.

Once the case has been decided in your favor, your next step is to recover possession by filing an execution petition against the respondent.

The person who is occupying the property is an unauthorised occupant, hence you need not bother about him, the court ameen with the help of police would dispossess him on the orders in the EP.

You have to be in touch with the local police who assist the court ameen for execution of court order.
