For Petitioner : Mr.M.Ajmal Khan For Respondents : Mr.P.Kannithevan Government Advocate (Crl.Side) O R D E R Apprehending that at the instance of the landlord of the petitioner, the petitioner's life would be in danger, the petitioner has come up with this petition seeking a direction to the second respondent to provide police protection to his life and his family members. 2.A perusal of the representation would go to show that there is a civil dispute between the landlord and the petitioner. The landlord is not a party before this Court and Section 482 Cr.P.C. is not intended to resolve the same. Under the guise of getting protection, the petitioner cannot be allowed to raise the civil dispute before the police. The petitioner has to work out his remedy before the civil Court. 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.
