J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. Petitioner seeks police protection. It is alleged that respondents 3 to 5 are taking law in their hands and harassing the petitioner. Learned counsel appearing for respondents 3 to 5 submits that there is absolutely no truth in the allegation. It is also submitted that they have not taken law in their hands and they have not caused any harassment to the petitioner. It is further submitted that they have no intention to do so. But the facts remains that the petitioner's son had incurred huge liability to the people of the locality including the party respondents and they have only taken recourse to the remedies open to them under law, and the police is only conducting a lawful investigation in the matter. The above submissions are recorded and the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the above submissions making it clear that it will be open to the police to conduct lawful investigation in respect of the complaints made by respondents 3 to 5 or other people of the locality against the son of the WP(C) NO.20699/09 2 petitioner and the petitioner shall cooperate with the police for the investigation.
