2. It is seen from records that there is a property dispute between the petitioner and his relatives. In this respect a civil suit is also pending in O.S.No.76 of 2018 filed by the counter part, before the learned Additional District Juge, Hosur. It is also seen that there are complaints registered and also a counter complaint before the 3rd respondent police. Now, the petitioner seeks protection to his properties from his own relatives.
