HARILAL, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C).No. 31274 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 23rd day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. The petitioner seeks police protection for his life and property from the 2nd respondent. A reading of the averments in the writ petition and the materials produced along with the writ petition will show that the petitioner is already pitted in a civil litigation with the 2nd respondent. It is needless to mention that all reliefs in respect of the property have to be obtained from the petitioner by a competent Civil Court. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.Aneesh Joseph, the petitioner is apprehending danger to his life or limbs from the 2nd respondent. The learned counsel requested that the first respondent be directed to enquire into the complaint of the petitioner. But, we find that Ext.P3 is a copy of the complaint. Ext.P3, in our opinion, does not reveal an allegation of the petitioner that the 2nd respondent is indulging any criminal activities so as to endanger the life or limbs of the petitioner. It WPC.No.31274/2011 2 is open to the petitioner to approach the first respondent by filing appropriate application if there is threat to the petitioner's life or limbs from the 2nd respondent. If the first respondent receives any such complaint from the petitioner, the first respondent shall conduct thorough enquiry into the same and shall take such action so as to ensure that the civil dispute between the petitioner and the 2nd respondent does not give rise to any law and order situation or violence. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K. HARILAL, JUDGE. dpk
