Learned advocate for the petitioner has mentioned the matter in the morning; however, we feel that, taking into consideration the factual aspects, it should be a Criminal Writ Petition and not a Civil Writ Petition, since he seeks to challenge the order of the police authorities. On his request, we therefore permit the petitioner to convert the Civil Writ Petition into a Criminal Writ Petition.
