ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ W. P. C. No.34211 of 2009 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 12th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Sri.V.G.Arun, the learned counsel for the respondent sought for a short time to file counter. Sri.Arun submitted that this Court became inclined to pass an interim order directing the police to maintain law and order situation noticing the interim order passed by a competent civil court in favour of the petitioner. According to Sri.Arun, the above suit in which the interim order was passed by the civil court (O.S.370/96 of Munsiff's Court, Punalur) has been dismissed in favour for the respondent. According to him, there is no necessity for continuing with the above interim order. 2. We do find some merit in the submission of Sri.Arun. At the same time, we are of the view that it is the duty of W. P. C. No.34211 of 2009 -2- the police to maintain law and order situation. Hence, even as we decline the relief sought for in the Writ Petition, we direct the police to maintain the law and order situation and to avert any untoward incident resulting from any dispute between the petitioner and the party respondents.
