KOSHY, Ag.C.J. & V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.32105 of 2008 ------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of January, 2009. JUDGMENT Koshy, Ag.C.J. This a petition seeking police protection. According to the petitioner, he was working in UAE. The 7th respondent enquired about the chance of getting a VISA to UAE for his son. Since he has nothing to do with the VISA business, he gave the number of one Chandran. 7th respondent contacted the said Chandran, who demanded some money to be paid to him for arranging a VISA and the money was paid by the 7th respondent. 2. The allegation in this writ petition is that respondents 6 to 9 are creating problems demanding the money paid by them and are physically manhandling the petitioner. Criminal cases are also pending. 3. Learned counsel for the party respondents submits that money was paid to the wife of the petitioner and that they have given a complaint to the police. They are not personally threatening the W.P.(C).No.32105 of 2008 :: 2 :: petitioner. If there is any money transaction between the parties, the respondents have to initiate civil proceedings. They cannot take law into their hands. 4. However, the police shall see that law and order is maintained and the life of the petitioner is not endangered. 5. This is without prejudice to the right of the respondents to take legal action that is available to them, if any money was paid to the petitioner or his wife. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (J.B. KOSHY) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy//
