J: In this Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, petitioner requests this Court to direct respondents 1 to 3 to provide adequate police protection to the petitioner to carry out the survey/measurement of the land belonging to her and covered by Ext.P2 Agreement against the illegal acts of the fourth respondent and his henchmen. Secondly, to declare that the fourth respondent has no manner of right to interfere with the survey/measurement of the land absolutely belonging to the petitioner and covered by Ext.P2. 2. In our opinion, the dispute between the petitioner and fourth respondent appears to be a matter in the nature of a civil dispute and this dispute should be sorted out by the petitioner by approaching the appropriate forum which can take evidence of the parties. Therefore, in a matter of this nature, granting of police protection is impermissible and therefore the Writ Petition is rejected. Ordered accordingly. H.L. DATTU, CHIEF JUSTICE K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
