T.K.VIPINDAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan & P.Q.Barkath Ali, JJ. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No.28535 of 2010-N = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 15th day of September, 2010. Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The petitioner, an elderly woman states that the 4th respondent, one of her sons is not permitting her to reside in a house belonging to yet another son. She accordingly seeks an order for police protection. The petitioner wants this Court to consider issuance of a police protection order on the basis of interpretation of Ext.P1 document. We are afraid that we cannot do that, having regard to the parameters of jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. The petitioner being a senior citizen, there is no reason why any request of her for relief would not be considered by the competent statutory authorities who can look into any complaint of harassment. WPC28535/10 -: 2 :- We, hence, close this writ petition leaving the petitioner with liberty to seek appropriate remedies from the competent statutory authorities or the civil courts, as the case may be.
