J U D G M E N T Raman, J. After disposal of this writ petition and before the order was signed, learned counsel for the respondent pleaded that since a counter affidavit is filed in the matter, his absence may be excused and he may be heard. Accordingly, the matter was re-posted and we heard the matter. 2. Petitioner seeks for police protection. Petitioners and respondents 4 to 8 are neighbours. There is a dispute pending between the petitioners and the party respondents. According to the petitioners, because of the said dispute there is constant threat from the party respondents and a criminal case against the respondents have been registered. Respondents 4 to 8, in their counter affidavit stated that as against the second petitioner's father, a crime was registered for assault and injury caused on the 6th respondent. The allegation made in the writ petition are denied by them. According to them, the threat is from the petitioners. WP(C) 17572/2009 :2: 3. The learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the State submitted that a case is registered against some of the respondents and he is not aware of any case being registered against the petitioners. But the counter affidavit producing the FIR shows that a case is registered against the second petitioner's father. In such circumstances, it is necessary to maintain law and order. Since the parties are neighbours and there is a boundary dispute, police will see that dispute between the parties does not lead to any law and order situation and protection shall be afforded against any threat to the petitioners. If there is any such threat against the respondents, it is open to them to seek similar relief. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P. BHAVADASAN, JUDGE. KNC/-
