The petitioners shall be put in possession of their premises to their exclusive use and residence.

The Officer-in-charge, Bankura Sadar Police Station shall also ensure that the respondent nos.4 and 5 do not enter the premises without the written permission of the writ petitioners. A personnel of the police station shall be posted outside the house of the petitioners until the next date.
