The petitioner has approached this Court seeking police protection against the alleged obstruction to the construction of a stair case caused by respondents 2 and 3 who are his brothers. The petitioner submits, he has obtained an interim injunction from the civil court against respondents 2 and 3 restraining them from causing obstruction. Notwithstanding that, in violation of that order, the respondents 2 and 3 are causing obstruction to the construction of the stair case, which is necessary to reach the first floor of the building, which is allotted to him in the family partition. 2. This is a civil dispute in which the police can play no role. Violation of the interim injunction of the civil court is also not a matter in which the police can take action. The petitioner's remedy lies before the civil court itself. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed without prejudice to the contentions of the petitioner and his right to move the civil court for appropriate orders. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE.
