JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner has approached this Court, praying for a direction to respondents 1 to 3 to grant protection to her life and that of her family members. This Court while admitting the writ petition, passed the following order: “There will be an interim direction to give protection to the life of the petitioner.” Later, the matter was heard and this Court on 2.1.2008, passed the following order: “Heard. 2. This Court ordered protection to the life of the petitioner based on the averments in the Writ Petition. The dispute between the petitioner and the party respondent is concerning a pathway. The learned Government Pleader submits that at present there is no situation to order protection to the life of the petitioner. 3. Civil dispute has to be decided by the court concerned. WPC 38241/2007 2 The protection ordered shall not be used in any manner to get over the orders of the civil court. If there is any threat to the petitioner or the family members, they may inform the third respondent and in that event, the third respondent shall look into the matter and take appropriate action. The interim order is modified to the above extent.” 2. In view of the above interim orders, no further orders are required in this writ petition. Accordingly, it is disposed of, maintaining the said orders. Needless to say, this order will not enable the petitioner to go against the orders of the civil court, if any.
