The question is abrupt. Kindly frame your question again. The police may interfere in case a complaint is made depending upon the situation or in case any directions as given by the court itself. In a situation where there is a stay order granted by the court for any purpose, no such authority can intervene without the permission of the court.

In India, the police generally cannot interfere in civil matters unless there is a specific threat to peace and tranquility or a breach of the peace. This principle has been reinforced by various judgments, including those by the Supreme Court of India.
The Supreme Court of India has clarified that police interference in civil disputes should be limited, and they cannot be the adjudicators of such disputes between parties. Police intervention is usually permissible when there is evidence of a breach of peace or a threat to public order. In such cases, the police may take necessary action to maintain law and order.
Filing a First Information Report (FIR) in civil cases is generally not the norm. FIRs are typically related to criminal offenses. However, if a civil dispute escalates to the point where it involves criminal aspects, the police may file an FIR accordingly.
It's essential to understand that the police's primary role is to enforce criminal laws, maintain order, and ensure public safety. They should not interfere in routine civil disputes that do not pose a threat to peace and tranquility.
Therefore, while police intervention in civil matters is limited, it may occur if there is a genuine concern related to public order or criminal activities associated with the civil dispute.
