Patil J<\/span>.* stated that it is an inherent power of the Court under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523743\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">151<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Civil Procedure Code, 1908<\/a> (\u2018CPC\u2019) to consider application for police protection of the property. The Court further laid down factors to be considered by the Trial Court before granting police protection.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioners filed a suit for permanent injunction against the respondents from interfering with the lawful possession and peaceful enjoyment of the suit schedule properties. Subsequently, the petitioners filed an interim application seeking temporary injunction, which was allowed in their favour. Later, the respondent challenged the aforesaid order which was dismissed for non-prosecution. However, subsequently it was restored with no interim order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Meanwhile, the petitioners filed an application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523743\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">151<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> seeking police protection over their respective possession of the suit schedule properties against the respondents. The affidavit filed along with the application indicated that the respondents wrongfully obstructed the vehicle of the petitioners which was carrying the coconuts, and tried to knock off the coconuts, but the petitioners managed to take away the same. It was also alleged that the respondents even formed unlawful assembly, trespassed the properties, created obstruction and stole coconuts stored in the petitioners&#8217; godown. The affidavit also indicated that there was a constant interference from the respondents regarding the possession over the suit schedule properties in violation of the temporary injunction order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Trial Court found no allegation of serious threat of dispossession and rejected the application for police protection stating that the petitioners didn\u2019t mention the purpose for seeking the same.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis and Decision<\/h3>\n<p>After examining <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Karisiddamma<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Sanna Kenchamma<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/A1SifqK5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2009) SCC OnLine Kar 345<\/a>, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Siddaramappa<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Talavar Rangappa<\/span>, WP.No. 62970 of 2016 dated 27-2-2017, and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Manjunath Reddy<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">V.

The Trial Court had also come to conclusion that there was a violation of the temporary injunction order by the respondents, when that being so, the Trial Court ought to have directed the jurisdictional police to provide help whenever need arises.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Considering that there could not be continuous police protection\/aid to guard the properties of the petitioners and that the same also could not be a ground to deny the police aid, the Court viewed that not providing police protection in such cases would give a ground for the respondents to defy the order of the temporary injunction granted by the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that there are exceptional circumstances in the case on hand and that police aid must be provided to implement the order of temporary injunction order granted by the Trial Court whenever need arises. Thus, the Court allowed the petition and stated that the police protection sought should remain in force till the temporary injunction order operated in favour of the petitioners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Balakrishna K.P. v.
