JUDGMENT
Ashok Bhushan, Ag.C.J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader.
No notice is being issued to the respondents in view of the order which is being passed.
2. By this writ petition the petitioner has prayed for a mandamus directing respondents 1 to 3 to provide adequate and meaningful police protection to the life and property of petitioner and his workers. Petitioner's case in the writ petition is that respondents have damaged the boundary wall of the petitioner's property and due to the existing threat, the petitioner is not able to carry on the work in his property. It is submitted that petitioner has already filed a suit in the Civil Court being O.S. No.107 of 2014, wherein injunction has been sought restraining the defendants from digging their property on the north of the plaint schedule properties. Petitioner's case is that Ext.P9 complaint has been submitted on 01.01.2015, but no action has been taken by the police authorities.
WP(C) No. 2615 of 2015 -:2:-
3. Learned Government Pleader submits that Ext.P9 complaint does not refer to any incident nor any such offence as alleged, on which enquiry or investigation can take place. It is submitted that the dispute between the parties is a civil dispute which has already got the attention of civil court.
4. In the facts of the present case, no useful purpose will be served by issuing any further orders. We, however, observe that in the event, any offence is committed or there is any attempt to commit offence, it is always open for the petitioner to file appropriate complaint before the police authorities and the police authorities may look into the same and do the needful in accordance with law.
With the above observation, the Writ Petition is closed. Ashok Bhushan, Acting Chief Justice.
A.M. Shaffique, Judge.
