This is a petition for police protection. It is the contention of the petitioner that respondents 1 to 3 and their associates are creating law and order problems. They attacked the establishment of the petitioner and one employee of the petitioner was injured. Government Pleader, on instructions, submitted that a crime was registered and action is being taken. It is also submitted by the Government Pleader that the Police has already granted adequate protection. We direct the Police to give sufficient protection, as prayed for, and take appropriate action as and when complaints are received. If respondents 1 to 3 or anybody else have got any valid objection in functioning of the Bar Hotel, it is for them to approach the Excise Department or Court or appropriate authorities according to law and we are not adjudicating the objections, if any, in this writ petition. WPC.27570/08 2 With the above observations, this writ petition is disposed of.
