This is a petition for police protection. On 23.2.2007, we have directed the police to see that petitioner's life is not endangered. Government Pleader submitted that respondents are called and settlement talks are going on. In the above circumstances, police is directed to give protection to the life of the petitioner as and when required. This is without prejudice to the right of the respondents in approaching statutory authority or court for redressal of their grievances instead of taking law into their hands.
