JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioners are auction purchasers of a property under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. The 3rd respondent is the owner of the property. The 4th respondent is his brother. According to the petitioners, the 5th respondent is the muscleman of the 3rd respondent. The 3rd respondent emphatically denies that allegation. 2. The main reliefs sought in the writ petition are the following: “(a) To issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction to the 1st and 2nd respondents to give/afford reasonable and appropriate protection to the life and property of the petitioners. (b) To direct the respondents 3 to 5 to refrain from threating and causing harm/damage/injury to the life and property of the petitioners.” While admitting the writ petition, this Court ordered the police to maintain law and order and also ensure that the lives of the parties are not endangered. WP(C) No. 13106/07 : 2 : 3. Both sides submit that the validity of the auction is the subject-matter of a writ petition pending before this Court. In view of the above position, without prejudice to the contentions of both sides, the writ petition is closed, maintaining the above interim order. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE.
