Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding respondents 4, 5 and 6 to afford adequate and effective police protection to the petitioner for removing ordinary earth from his property for the purpose of tsunami rehabilitation scheme, as permitted in Ext.P2 by the District Collector, Thrissur in the event of any obstruction from respondents 7 onwards.” 2. Counter Affidavit has been filed by respondents 7 to 9, 11 and 12. Therein they have, inter alia, produced Ext.R9(i) issued by the Additional Tahsildar issuing a stop memo, addressed to the Village Officer. We notice that the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 before the District Collector as against the WPC.17394/2010 Y 2 same. In the light of this, as things stand, the petitioner cannot claim any relief in this Writ Petition. Accordingly, we close the Writ Petition without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach this Court again. Sd/= K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE Sd/= M.L.
