No.3 is making attempts to evict the petitioners. However, the petitioners have filed a suit in O.S.No.02/2021 on the file of Principal Civil Judge, Kolar. Since the petitioners have already taken shelter before the Civil Court, I decline to exercise power under Writ jurisdiction. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed.
