JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner has approached this Court, seeking police protection, in the background of the alleged threat to his life and that of his family members, from respondents 4 to 6. He purchased a property belonging to the said respondents. They want the property to be re- conveyed to them. Since the petitioner did not oblige, they are threatening him. Therefore, he filed Exts.P2 and P3 representations before the police. Thereafter, this Writ Petition is filed, seeking appropriate directions to the police. The petitioner also submits, he has obtained Ext.P1 judgment in his favour, where his counter claim has been allowed and the plaintiffs therein were restrained from interfering with the counter claim schedule property. 2. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted WPC 12360/2008 2 that respondents 4 to 6 were summoned to the Police Station and strictly warned. They were directed to obey the orders of the civil court. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that after the filing of the writ petition, there was no threat from the part of respondents 4 to 6. Apparently, the reason is the action taken by the police. Since the police have already acted as desired by the petitioner, the Writ Petition is closed. If there is any genuine threat to the life of the petitioner or his family members, he can bring it to the notice of respondents 2 and 3 for necessary action. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE.
