Petitioner seeks for police protection to the life and property against the threats of respondents 2 and 3 or anyone acting under them.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner does not wish to prosecute this matter provided the interim order dated 18.09.2025 is extended and that the parties will work out their remedies before other forum.

5. The learned counsel for respondents 2 and 3 submitted that they have no objection in continuing the interim order as they are not intending to cause any threat or harm to the petitioner but will seek recourse to legal remedies.

In view of the above, this writ petition is closed with the observation that if in case any threat is apprehended by the petitioner from respondents 2 and 3, on intimation to the first respondent, appropriate action will be taken by him. It is clarified that this shall not be a reason to evade compliance with directions issued by lawful authorities.
