The petitioners seek Police protection to their life against the alleged criminal actions of the 5th respondent. This Court has already passed an interim order in their favour while admitting the writ petition on 9.5.2008. Though notice was served on the 5th respondent, he did not appear or contest the case. 2. Learned Government Pleader upon instructions submits that there is dispute between the petitioners and the 5th respondent concerning financial transactions. 3. We feel that, having regard to the facts of the case, maintaining the interim order, the writ petition can be disposed of. Accordingly, it is ordered that if there is any threat to the life of the petitioners, they may inform the 3rd or 4th respondent as the case may be. In that event, the said respondent shall look into the same and if the allegation is found correct, extend necessary protection to the life of the petitioners. The writ petition is disposed of as above. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE. dsn
