The Superintendent of Police Theni District Police Theni District 2. The Deputy Superintendent of Police District Crime Branch Theni Superintendent Office Theni District 3. The Inspector of Police Theni Town Police Station Theni District : Respondents PRAYER: Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to direct the third respondent to provide police protection in the petitioner's land in Theni Town Police Station. *** For Petitioner : Mr.C.M.Ganesan For Respondents : Mr.P.Kannithevan Government Advocate (Crl. Side) O R D E R Seeking a direction to the third respondent to provide police protection in the petitioner's land in Theni Town Police Station, the petitioner, has come up with the present Petition. 2. Due to land dispute between the parties and without hearing the case of the person, who claims some title or some right over the property, it is not possible to issue any direction. Further the dispute appears to be a land dispute and therefore, the remedy for the petitioner lies elsewhere either before the Civil Court or in any other manner known to law. 3. Apart from that Section 482 of Cr.P.C., is concerned with the crime and proceedings relating to crime and Section 482 of Cr.P.C., cannot be invoked to give protection in respect of a civil dispute. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 4. In view of all these reasons, I do not find any reason to issue a direction. Hence this petition deserves to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.
