3. The petitioner is having a private dispute with the private respondents. However, interim relief is sought against the local police. The fifth respondent through counsel informs this Court that they have nothing to do with the said dispute at all.

If any such suit is filed, it shall be numbered immediately provided that papers are in order. The Court below shall number the suit as well as the IA and endeavour to dispose of the IA on merits and in accordance with law. I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter.
