This is a petition for police protection to continue the work of removal of soil for levelling the land belonging to the petitioners for the proposed bus-stand at Valancherry without being obstructed by respondents 5 to 9 or their men. Respondents 7 and 8 filed a counter affidavit stating that they are not obstructing the same. Other respondents also denied the allegations. It is also stated by them that the Panchayat has not signed the agreement with the petitioners so as to construct the bus-stand and W.P. (C)No.33588 of 2006 is pending. We are not expressing any opinion regarding the merits of that case in this writ petition. If the Panchayat has signed the agreement with the petitioners, Police should grant protection so that work of removal of soil for levelling the land up to road level can be done strictly complying with the conditions of Exts.P1 and W.P.(C)33996/2006 2 P8 unless there are prohibitory orders from civil court or statutory authority. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE K.P.BALACHANDRAN JUDGE tks
