None appears for the petitioner.
2. It is seen that the petitioner has sought for police protection in
the year 2014, due to some dispute regarding the election to the Advocates
Association at Kizha Eral, Ettaiyapuram Taluk, Tuticorin District. Eight years have gone by since then. I do not see any necessity to grant police protection
at this distant point of time.
