commanding respondents 1 and 2 to afford adequate and
meaningful protection to the life of the petitioner. Briefly put,
the case of the petitioner is as follows:

respondents 4 and 5 also. Ext.P1 is a FIR and FI Statement. It
is stated that there is political enmity. A Counter Affidavit is

the Writ Petition by making the interim order absolute. We
make it clear that we have not pronounced on the correctness of
the allegations made by the petitioner or the party respondents
and if any matter comes up before any competent Court or
Forum, they are free to decide the matter untrammeled by
anything contained in this Judgment.
