A perusal of the complaint dated 04.04.2011, 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. Under the guise of getting protection, the petitioner cannot be allowed to resolve the civil dispute before the police and section 482 Cr.P.C. is not intended for that purpose. Moreover, in the absence of the above parties to the dispute in respect of the property, no order for police protection could be granted. 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. ] Sd/- ASST REGISTRAR ( CRL SIDE ) /TRUE COPY/ SUB ASST REGISTRAR To 1.The Superintendent of Police, Virudhunagar District. 2.The Inspector of Police, Malli Police station, Malli, Virudhunagar Dist. 3.The Addl Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai. 1CC TO MR.
