A perusal of the complaint, dated 13.01.2011, upon which the relief is sought for, would go to show that there is a civil dispute between the petitioner and others. Such a dispute cannot be resolved by the police. Under the guise of getting protection, the petitioner cannot be allowed to raise the civil dispute before the police and section 482 Cr.P.C. is not intended for that purpose. The petitioner has to work out his remedy before the civil Court. In such view of the matter, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed, however with an observation that the respondent police shall ensure the personal safety of the petitioner and their family members.
