The petitioner has been asked to appear before the police, for which purpose, a notice under Section 160 of Code of Criminal Procedure, has been issued to him, as evidenced by Ext.P1. According to him, there are some disputes between the petitioner and the third respondent regarding the property transaction. He further submits that if at all a complaint is received is from the third respondent, as it is a civil dispute, it is not a matter where the cognizance can be issued by the police. Hence, this writ petition. 2. Since the police has issued only a notice to enquire into the complaint received by them, it is too pre-mature to come to a conclusion. If, as a matter of fact, it is a civil dispute, the police will not interfere with the same. As the writ W.P.(C) No.9010 of 2009 2 petition is filed, we direct that the petitioner shall appear before the Sub Inspector of Police, Vanitha Cell, if not today, tomorrow itself, and he can raise all his contentions before the police. The writ petition is closed subject to the above observation. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE. nj.
