K.M.JOSEPH & M.C.HARI RANI, JJ. * * * * * * * * * * * * * W.P.C.No.26265 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of November 2010 J U D G M E N T K.M.JOSEPH,J The petitioners have approached this Court seeking police protection to their life and property against respondents 3 to 6 or anybody claiming under him. There is also reference to Ext.P1. 2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioners is as follows: 3. Petitioners and respondents 3 to 6 are neighbours. Respondents 3 to 6 have business in illegal mining of sand. They are mining sand adjacent to the property of the petitioners. Their intention is to take possession of the property of the petitioners and expand their business. There are civil disputes pending between the petitioners and respondents 3 to 6. It is alleged that they have trespassed into the property of the petitioners and threatened that if the property is not delivered, they will eliminate the petitioners. 4. Counter affidavit is filed on behalf of respondents 4 to 6 wherein it is inter alia stated as follows: It is stated that they are not attempting to trespass into the property of the petitioners and will not make any waste to their property. The W.P.C.No.26265 of 2010 2 allegation in paragraph 4 in the writ petition is denied. It is stated that petitioners 2 and 3 had manhandled the father of the 3rd respondent (in paragraph 4 of the counter affidavit, it is stated as petitioners 1 and 2) and the police had registered a crime against petitioners 2 and 3. 5. We have heard the learned counsel for both parties and the learned Government Pleader. The learned counsel for respondents 3 to 6 would submit that they have no intention to cause any threat to the life of the petitioners. We record the same. The learned Government Pleader would also submit that in fact, a case was registered against petitioners 2 and 3 and the case of threat against the petitioners is not correct. 6. In such circumstances, recording the submission of the learned counsel for respondents 3 to 6 that they will not threaten the petitioners, we dispose of the writ petition. If the matter comes before any civil court/forum, the civil court/forum will decide the matter untrammeled by anything contained in this judgment.
