This writ petition is filed seeking direction for adequate police protection to the life and properties of the petitioners. The contesting first respondent does not dispute the title of the petitioners to the property. He says that there is a labour dispute. This is also controverted by the petitioners. Whatever that be, all that is required on the facts and circumstances of the case emanating out of the pleadings and materials on record is that any proceedings in resolution of labour dispute pending before the competent authority shall be expedited while the police will ensure that there is no law and order problem and effective police protection shall be granted, if there is any complaint of threat to the life of the petitioners. We also record the submission on behalf of the contesting respondent that he will not interfere with the affairs of the petitioners. However, this statement is without prejudice to his right to prosecute the labour dispute. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, (JUDGE) P.S. GOPINATHAN, (JUDGE) knc/-
