The petitioner has approached this Court for police protection. 2. Briefly the case of the petitioner is as follows. Petitioner is the owner of a vehicle, which was purchased after obtaining finance from Shriram Transport Finance Company. It is stated that the third respondent is threatening the petitioner. Inspite of various complaints there is no action from the side of the police. 3. The learned Government Pleader submits that no complaint has been received. The party respondent also submits that there is no complaint. Without filing a complaint, this Writ Petition seeking a writ of mandamus is not maintainable. W.P.(C).No. 20866 of 2010 2 4. It is open to the petitioner, however, to approach the police authorities and bring any threat of illegal dispossession, which the decisions of this Court and the Apex Court held as illegal and then move this Court, if so advised. Subject to the same, this Writ Petition is dismissed. (K. M. JOSEPH) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) Judge tm
