GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.SALIM.P.A. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSIONON 03/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR & K.T.SANKARAN,JJ. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 23292 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd August, 2007 JUDGMENT BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. The petitioners are tenants of a building owned by the second respondent. Third respondent is the wife of the second respondent. The grievance of the petitioners is that the second and third respondents are using illegal methods to evict them from the building. For that they are using abusive language and also holding out threat and physical harm. Therefore, the petitioners have preferred Ext.P3 representation before the Police and thereafter, this Writ Petition is filed. 2. Learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that both the parties were summoned to the police station and petitioners undertook to vacate the premises within ten days. 3. If the landlord is trying to evict the petitioners illegally, the remedy of the petitioners is to move the competent civil court. Having regard to the nature of the allegations, we think that it is not proper for this Court to direct the Police to register a crime and investigate the same, as most of the offences alleged are non-cognizable. Even assuming cognizable offences are disclosed, the petitioners have remedies under W.P.(C). NO.23292 OF 2007 :: 2 :: the Code of Criminal Procedure. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is closed. (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR) Judge (K.T.SANKARAN) Judge ahz/
