JUDGMENT
Balakrishnan Nair, J:
The petitioner has approached this Court seeking
protection to him and his family members in the wake of the
alleged threat to his life from the 3rd respondent. There is
some civil dispute between the petitioner and the 3rd respondent
concerning a pathway. The petitioner filed a suit as O.S.No.657/08
before the Munsiff’s Court, Thiruvananthapuram. There is already
an interim injunction in that suit. A copy of the said order is
produced as Ext.P2. Infuriated by the filing of the suit, the 3rd
respondent is physically threatening and harassing the petitioner
and his family members. The petitioner’s wife is a heart-patient.
Though he filed Ext.P3 representation before the police seeking
necessary protection, they did not extend any help. Hence, this
Writ Petition seeking appropriate reliefs.
[WP(C) No.13315/08] 2
2. Learned Government Pleader upon instructions
submitted that parties were summoned to the Police Station and
they were warned against creating any problem. They were
advised to abide by the order of the civil court. It is further
submitted that thereafter there is no law and order problem. The
3rd respondent has filed a counter affidavit. Learned counsel
appearing on behalf of the 3rd respondent submitted that she or
her relatives have no intention to harass the petitioner or her
family members. This submission is recorded. The dispute
relating to pathway has to be resolved by the parties through the
forum of the civil court.
The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
