The petitioner seeks police protection for constructing a compound wall. The petitioner does not have any building permit issued by the Municipality for construction of the compound wall. A compound wall is also treated as a building for the purpose of Kerala Building Rules and a permit is necessary for constructing the same. In view of the said position, it is unnecessary for this Court to refer to other disputes raised in this Writ Petition or the contentions of respondents 4 and 5. It is clarified that this judgment does not imply that the petitioner is entitled to get police protection once he gets the building permit. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed.
