SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 38507 of 2010-K ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT Basant,J. This writ petition filed on 22/12/10 is coming up for admission hearing today. The learned counsel for the petitioners prays for time to produce further documents. We turned down the request. We request the learned counsel for the petitioners to make his submission. According to the petitioners, they and the 6th respondent are siblings. The 6th respondent is allegedly obstructing the right of the petitioners in respect of the properties given to them by their father. They are already before the civil court, it is further submitted. 2. Has the dispute regarding properties been resolved by the civil court? Admittedly, final orders have not been passed. Has the civil court passed any interim order? No interim orders W.P.(C) No. 38507 of 2010 -: 2 :- have been passed. Why is it that the parties are not seeking interim orders from the civil court? No satisfactory response is received. There evidently is a civil dispute between the parties. That dispute relates to property. The alleged threat to life and person perceived by the petitioners is a sequel or consequence of the property dispute. Without and before resolving the property dispute, no effective relief can be granted to the parties by this Court invoking the powers under Art.226 of the Constitution. Such civil dispute between the parties have not obviously been resolved. We do not, in these circumstances, find any merit in the prayer for police protection raised in this petition. 3. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed with an observation that the parties must get their civil disputes resolved in accordance with law. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- K.
