The petitioner has approached this Court alleging that the relatives of his daughter in law are physically threatening and harassing him. His son's marriage with the third respondent took place on 5-12-2007. They are living separated because of difference of opinion between them. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 4 to 7 who are the father and other relatives of the third respondent are threatening him for the alleged fault of his son. In the above background, he filed Ext.P1 petition before the Police and thereafter this writ petition is filed seeking appropriate reliefs. 2. Respondents 3 to 7 have filed a counter affidavit denying the allegations. In fact they are being threatened by the petitioner and his son with dire consequences if they attempted to file any criminal proceedings against them. The third respondent is a student now. They are continuing their harassment towards the third respondent in her educational institution also, it is pointed. The party respondents WPC.22838/2008 -2- have also submitted that they have no intention to harm or harass the petitioner. They have not done that also, it is submitted. 3. Respondents 3 to 7 further submitted that they in fact require protection from the petitioner and his son. The learned counsel for the petitioner denied the allegations made against him by the respondents. He also submits that he has no intention whatsoever to attack the party respondents or harass them. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that it is a family dispute. We record the submission made on behalf of the petitioner that he has no intention to harass the party respondents. We also record the submission made by respondents 4 to 7 that they have no intention to harass the petitioner. Recording the above submissions made on behalf of the petitioner and respondents 3 to 7, the writ petition is disposed of. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE M.C. HARI RANI JUDGE ks. WPC.22838/2008 -3-
