TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.21163 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 22nd day of March, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner was in civil suit with his ex-wife and her husband and others. Even though allegation is of theft, I feel the matter has to be settled only through civil court which is the authority to enforce it's orders. If petitioner has a case that civil court orders are not honoured by the other side, civil court has the full authority under CPC to enforce it's orders. There is no scope for this court to interfere in the form of direction to the Police to take action against parties in the civil suit, more so, when such parties are not made respondents in this W.P. The W.P. is accordingly closed leaving freedom to the petitioner to approach the civil court for appropriate remedy. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
