This is a petition for police protection. According to the petitioners, more amount than that was due under the credit card was paid to the HDFC Bank and yet they are creating obstructions to the lives of the petitioners and personal liberty. On 12.12.2006 we have directed the police to see that law and order is maintained and lives of the petitioners are not endangered. Without prejudice to the legal remedies, if any, available to respondents 5 to 7, the interim order dated 12.12.2006 is made absolute as they cannot take law into their hands. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE K.PADMANABHAN NAIR JUDGE tks
