JUDGMENT
K.VINOD CHANDRAN, J.
The petitioner was before this Court earlier alleging that there were illegalities committed by the fourth respondent and some others. We had passed judgment at Ext.P1 finding that if there are financial transactions, the parties would be entitled to take legal remedies and not indulge in criminal acts. The present contention is that the fourth respondent is continuing such criminal acts. It is for the petitioner to make a complaint before the Police or take appropriate legal remedies against that and there cannot be petitions filed one after other for police protection. The writ petition is dismissed in limine.
