This petition is for a direction to the police to give protection to the petitioner for reinforcement of a compound wall, which is alleged to be in existence for a long period of time at the place where it ought to be. The petitioner's neighbour is raising objections to the reinforcement of the compound wall and police protection is sought by the petitioner to deter the neighbour from indulging in such conduct. 2. We have had discussions with the learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner. At the end of the discussions, the learned senior counsel submits that the petitioner may be given an option to withdraw this petition. We reckon that as a very informed statement/request. A dispute like this cannot be sought to be resolved by filing a petition praying for police protection. The prayer of the learned senior counsel for the petitioner is accepted. This Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed as withdrawn. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) (M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE) rtr/-
