RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JJ. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO. 13425 OF 2009 W ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 7th September, 2010. JUDGMENT K.M. Joseph, J. Prayers in the Writ Petition are as follows: “1. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, order or direction directing respondents 1 to 3 to give adequate and effective police protection for the life and property of the petitioner and his family members against the illegal acts of respondents 4 to 11 and their men. 2. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, order or direction directing respondents 1 to 3 to give adequate and effective police protection to the petitioner for the construction of the compound wall on the western side of petitioner's property as demarcated by the Taluk Surveyor and to enclose his compound from trespassers like respondents 4 to 11 and their henchmen.” W.P.(C).NO.13425/09 W 2 2. We heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel appearing for the party respondents and also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Petitioner has obtained a Decree from the civil court. Learned counsel for respondents 4 to 11 submits that an Appeal, AS.No.245/010 has been filed on 02.9.2010. In the light of this, we feel that the petitioner is to be relegated to pursue the remedies before the competent civil court. However, learned counsel for petitioner raises an apprehension of threat to the life of the petitioner from respondents 4 to 11. But, learned counsel for respondents 4 to 11 would submit that they have no intention at all to cause any threat to the life of the petitioner. We record the said submission and dispose of the Writ Petition. We further make it clear that in case the petitioner complains of commission of any cognizable offence by respondents 4 to 11 before the third W.P.(C).NO.13425/09 W 3 respondent, the third respondent will take action in accordance with law.
