This is a petition for police protection for removing the metal deposited by the petitioner. The petitioner is a contractor. He stored the above metal hopping that he will get a new contract for metaling the road but it was not awarded to him. Therefore, he wants to take back the metal. It is reported by the Govt. Pleader that the said metal was already used by the new contractor. In the above circumstances, the remedy of the petitioner is to file a suit against the new contractor if the allegations are correct. Without prejudice to that right, this writ petition is disposed of. (J.B. Koshy, Judge.) (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
