The petitioner has approached this Court for a direction to respondents 2 to 4 to accord adequate protection to the life and property of the petitioner and his family members for the peaceful residence in House No.630 of Ward No.I of Sooranad South Panchayat Village. 2. Briefly the case of the petitioner is as follows. The petitioner is aged and ailing, who is residing with his wife, aged mother-in-law and his daughter in the above house. 9th respondent is the wife of the elder son of the petitioner. Towards security for the amount advanced, a deed was executing conveying 4.5 ares of property in favour of the 9th respondent, without any demarcation. There was strain in the W.P.(C).No. 14731 of 2010 2 relationship between the petitioner and the 9th respondent. She attempted to sell the property to strangers. The petitioner filed O.S.No. 158 of 2009 before the Munsiff Court, Sasthamcotta. 3. The 5th respondent, who is an influential person in the locality, purchased the property knowing the pendency of the suit and using the criminal force, he is trying to evict the petitioner. Though the petitioner filed a petition before the Sooranad Police, no action is taken to protect the life of the petitioner and his family members from the illegal threat of respondents 5 to 8. 4. A counter affidavit is filed by the 5th respondent on behalf of respondents 7 and 8 also. According to the learned counsel for the 5th respondent, the property is in the possession and enjoyment of the respondent. He would further submit that respondents 5, 7 and 8 have no intention to cause any threat to the petitioner. W.P.(C).No. 14731 of 2010 3 5. We record the said submission and close this Writ Petition relegating the parties to pursue their remedy before the competent civil court. (K. M. JOSEPH) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) Judge tm
