According to him, eventhough Ext.P2 representation was submitted to the police and subsequently oral complaints were also given, the police have not taken any action. As instructed by us, the learned senior Government Pleader Smt.Charisma has on the basis of instructions submitted that, on receiving complaint from the petitioner the parties were summoned to the police station and it became revealed that the dispute between the parties is over a path way. As it was noticed that the dispute is purely civil in nature the parties were directed to settle the dispute through the process of civil court. 2 W.P.(C) No.19686 of 2011 According to the learned Government Pleader, there is no threat on the life of the petitioner or any member of the petitioner's family. 2. Mr.Jojo A.V. learned counsel for the petitioner would dispute the submissions of learned Government Pleader. According to him, even now there is a subsisting threat on the lives of the petitioner and the petitioner's family members from the part of the 2nd respondent. Having considered the submissions addressed at the Bar we are of the view that, this writ petition can be disposed of issuing the following the directions :- The 1st respondent is directed to keep close vigil over the properties under residential occupation of the petitioner and the 2nd respondent and ensure that no law and order situation arises on account of the dispute between them over the path way. If necessary the needful will be done by the sub Inspector of 3 W.P.(C) No.19686 of 2011 police so that the lives of the petitioner and his family members and the 2nd respondent and his family members are not in danger.
