Petitioner has approached this Court seeking the following relief:- “to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction directing respondents 1 to 2 to give adequate police protection to the temple Thoniplavila Shri Aadiparasakthi temple, Neyyattinkara for the smooth functioning and also for the life of petitioner and other trust members.” 2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows:- Petitioner is the Secretary of Thoniplavila Shri Aadiparasakthi Temple at Neyyatinkara. It is stated that for the smooth functioning of the temple Ext.P1 trust deed was executed. It is contended that respondents 3 and 4 who are residing nearby and who are worshipers of the temple are making problems in the temple and are threatening the petitioner and other trust members. The 5th respondent is alleged to have demolished the wall of the temple and it is stated that it is reconstructed with the interference of police. WPC No.14527/2010 -2- It is stated that respondents 3 to 5 are continuously threatening the petitioner. 3. We heard Sri.Ahzar.A., learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. On going through the allegations we would think that it is more appropriate that the petitioner is to be relegated to approach competent Civil Court. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to seek appropriate remedies before the Civil Court, the writ petition is disposed of. We further make it clear that if the petitioner complains about commission of any cognizable offence, action shall be taken on the same in accordance with law. (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE.
