The complaint of the petitioner is that in a matter which is purely of a civil nature, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mattancherry, has pressurised the petitioner to execute Ext.P2. If so, the remedy open to the petitioner is to set aside Ext.P2 by approaching the Civil Court and to establish that it was executed by coercion. As the matter involves taking evidence and adjudication, the writ petition is not the appropriate remedy. Relegating the petitioner to resort to such remedy, if so advised, this writ petition is dismissed P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.S. GOPINATHAN, JUDGE nj.
