ORDER
This petition has been filed seeking to recall the order dated 10.08.2026 passed by this Court in W.P.(Crl.) No. 1960 of 2026, primarily on the ground that the Respondents No. 4 to 6 in the main Writ Petition were not heard by this Court.
2. The learned counsel for the recall petitioner submitted that this Court, while disposing of the main Writ Petition, had directed the respondent police to register a First Information Report (FIR) if any cognizable offence was made out. It is further submitted that the respondents No.4 to 6 are the absolute owners of the subject land, in which the writ petitioner had obtained directions seeking police protection to lay a pipeline. It is contended that the writ petitioner has suppressed material facts regarding ownership disputes and obtained the order behind their back.
WPMP Crl. No. 1011 of 2026
3. In view of the above submissions, the third respondent is directed to conduct enquiry with respondents no.4 to 6 herein about the objections raised by them against the laying of the pipeline and, on verification of their ownership, pass order regarding the grant of police protection for laying the pipeline. Thereafter, if any illegality is committed by any of the parties, the third respondent is directed to proceed in accordance with law. Accordingly, this recall petition is disposed of.
