Joseph, J. The Writ Petition is filed seeking police protection for the life of the petitioners without being obstructed in any fashion either by respondents 4 and 5 or any other persons engineered by them. 2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioners is as follows: Petitioners are running a vegetarian hotel. They availed a loan from respondents 4 and 5. They could not repay the loan. They are threatened by the fourth respondent with hired goons. A Counter Affidavit is filed. Learned counsel for the fourth respondent submits that money is due from the petitioners. But, he denies the allegations in the Writ Petition. He submits that respondents 4 and 5 do not have any intention to take possession of the hotel by force and they will take legal steps. Recording WPC.11568/2010 U 2 the submission of the party respondents, we direct respondents 1 to 3 to afford effective police protection for the life of the petitioners against respondents 4 and 5 and their men. We make it clear that if any proceedings are instituted by respondents 4 and 5, the said Forum will decide the issue untrammeled by anything contained in this Judgment. Sd/= K.M.
