This is a petition alleging contempt of this court's order as adequate police protection has not been given. In spite of the presence of the police officers, action was not taken to prevent assault on the Municipal Councilors. 2. It is the averment of the Superintendent of Police that they have taken all measures, in spite of that, some incident occurred. We are of the opinion that if police officers were more vigilant, unpleasant incidents should have been avoided. Criminal cases were registered. In any event, the election was over. Therefore, with a warning that in future, Court orders should be strictly implemented, without prejudice to the right of the aggrieved parties to take any other action according to law, the Contempt of Court Case is closed.
