The petitioners have approached this Court alleging that the 2nd respondent, Sub Inspector of Police, is interfering in a civil dispute between them and the 3rd respondent. They submitted that the 3rd respondent acted as a broker in the sale of a property belonging to them. They have been paid the brokerage also. After some time, now he has come forward claiming a handsome amount from the petitioners for the help rendered by him in the sale of the property. When the petitioners refused to accede to the demand, it appears he moved the police and based on that the 2nd respondent is unnecessarily summoning them to the police station and compelling them to settle the matter with the 3rd respondent. Feeling aggrieved by the actions of the 3rd respondent, 1st petitioner filed Ext.P1 representation before the 1st respondent and thereafter, this writ petition is filed seeking appropriate reliefs. W.P.(C) No.17066/2008 2 Learned Government pleader upon instructions, submitted that on finding that the dispute between the parties is a civil dispute, they were advised by the police to approach the Civil Court. It is also submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the police have no intention what so ever to interfere with the civil dispute. Recoding this submission, the writ petition is disposed of.
