J U D G M E N T

Shaffique, J This writ petition has been filed seeking police protection in the matter relating to obstruction being created by respondents 5 to 7 in the functioning of the office of the petitioner company. 2.

Though complaint has been given for necessary police protection, no action was taken in the matter and hence the petitioner has approached this Court. This Court had already passed an interim order on 12/04/2013 directing the police to provide necessary protection.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on account of the protection granted by the police, no untoward incident had occurred.

W.P.C.No.10700/2013 Under such circumstances, we close this writ petition with liberty to the petitioner to approach the police authorities, if any further cause of action arises.
