HARI RANI,JJ ============================== W.P.(C) NO. 35643 OF 2009 ============================ Dated this the 28th day of October 2010 JUDGMENT K.M. Joseph, J. The prayers in the writ petition are as follows: i) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or other appropriate writ, order or direction commanding respondents 1 and 2 to afford adequate and effective police protection to the petitioner and his family to continue with the peaceful enjoyment and possession of property of the petitioner having an extent of 5 cents of land in survey No. 780/1 A (Resurvey No. 233/2-1) in Vennikulam Muri, Puramattom Village, Mallappally Taluk, Pathanamthitta District without any threat and obstruction from respondents 3 to 7 or their henchmen. ii) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or other appropriate writ, order or direction commanding respondents 1 and 2 to afford adequate and effective police protection to the life of the petitioner and his family free from threat or obstruction from respondents 3 to 7 or anybody under them. 35643/2009 -2- iii) Issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ, order or direction directing first respondent to consider and take appropriate action on Ext.P4. 2. A perusal of the writ petition would show that two suits are pending. One filed by the petitioner and other filed by respondents 3 and 4. 3. We feel that this is not a fit case to direct the police to give protection. It is for the petitioner to work out his remedy before the competent civil court. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to urge all contentions before the appropriate forum, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE Sd/- M.C. HARI RANI,JUDGE ks.
