Heard Sri Ajay Veer Pundir, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Tanuj Semwal, learned A.G.A. for the respondent nos. 1, 2 and 3. 2. By means of this petition, the petitioner has sought protection of his life and liberty. 3. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner allegedly owns chak no. 202 situated in Village Brahampur, Tehsil Roorkee, District Haridwar. It is alleged in the petition that respondent no. 4 wants to grab land of the petitioner. He earlier filed a suit no. 67 of 2007 before the Consolidation Authorities, which was dismissed. The petitioner has alleged that now the respondent nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7 have threatened the petitioner of dire consequences. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.G.A., we are of the view that the dispute between the parties is purely of a civil nature. As far as the threat to life is concerned, the petitioner may make a complaint to the concerned police station or the Magistrate if the action on the part of the respondents amounts to a criminal offence. With these observations, this writ petition is dismissed summarily. 5. All pending applications (including application no. 1362 of 2009) stand disposed of accordingly. (B.S. Verma, J.) (Prafulla C.
