JOSEPH FRANCIS, JJ. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C).No. 15044 of 2010 E - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 18th day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT Joseph, J. The petitioner has approached this Court for a direction to the first respondent to afford adequate police protection to the petitioner and the workmen engaged by her to construct the compound wall and to put iron gate on her land in Sy.No. 230/18 of Mathilakom Village. The allegation is against respondents 3 and 4. We notice that there is an allegation that they purchased the property from their co-owners knowing fully that they have no manner of right to prevent the construction of the compound wall and that the petitioner has the right to put up an iron gate to protect her land. 2. We do not think that this is a fit case for exercising the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. The petitioner W.P.(C).No. 15044 of 2010 2 has other efficacious remedy by way of approaching the civil court against the respondents. 3. In such circumstances, we dispose of the Writ Petition relegating the petitioner to pursue her remedies before the competent civil court. We also make it clear that in case the petitioner complains of commission of any cognizable offence, action shall be taken on such complaint in accordance with law. (K. M. JOSEPH) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) Judge tm
