Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. Notice to third respondent is dispensed with preserving her right to seek rehearing of this matter, if aggrieved by the directions being issued hereunder. The petitioner is a defendant in a suit filed by the third respondent. The third respondent and the petitioner have some interlocutory orders in that suit. Ext.P3 evidences this. If matters, which are purely civil disputes, are pending before that court with interlocutory orders, it is not for the police to interfere. The duty of WPC3966/11 -: 2 :- the police is to ensure that law and order is maintained and any complaint of threat to life is appropriately taken care of, without deciding on any disputed questions of title to property. The complaint of the petitioner is that respondents 1 and 2 are interfering at the behest of the third respondent, quite contrary to the views of the civil court as reflected in Ext.P3. Under such circumstances, we direct that if the petitioner places an appropriate complaint in this regard before the superior police officer, the same will be looked into and directions issued forthwith in accordance with law. If such authority finds that the police officers have acted against the provisions of law, appropriate report would be sent up to the Police Complaint Authority in terms of the Kerala Police Act. Let this procedure be done within one week on the production of a copy of this judgment and a copy of the writ petition before the competent authority. We direct the Superintendent of Police, Kollam to look into this matter, if such WPC3966/11 -: 3 :- complaint is made. The writ petition ordered accordingly. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. P.S.Gopinathan, Judge. Sha/1002
