A perusal of the complaint, 09.03.2011, upon which the relief is sought for, will go to show that there is a civil dispute in respect of the property between the petitioner and others. Such a dispute cannot be resolved by the police and Section 482 Cr.P.C. is not intended for that purpose. Under the guise of getting protection, the petitioner cannot be allowed to raise the civil dispute before the police. In such view of the matter, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed, however with an observation that the respondent police shall ensure the personal safety of the petitioner and their family members. Consequently connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
