Orders
The West Bengal High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Shubhendu Sarkar seeking police protection to possess disputed land. The court held that since both the petitioner and private respondents have filed competing civil suits (Suit 457/2025 and T.S. 329/2025) claiming rights over the same land, the police authority is not authorized to decide the inter se rights of parties—this is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the civil court. The petitioner remains free to pursue remedies through appropriate legal forums. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
