This is a petition seeking a direction to respondents No. 1 to 3

to provide adequate protection to the petitioner, who is in fear of his life and

liberty at the hands of respondents No. 4 to 10. Another grievance made in

the petition is that respondents No. 4 to 10 have not been arrested despite

registration of criminal case vide FIR No. 134 dated 13.11.2008 under

Sections 326/324/323/452/148/149 IPC registered at police station Kathu

Nangal, District Amritsar.

Learned counsel for the State has submitted that efforts are

already being made to arrest the accused in the aforesaid FIR. As regard

harassment, learned counsel submits that petitioner is not being harassed in

any manner and no action will be taken against him except in due course of

law.

In view of the statement made by learned counsel for the State,

this petition is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous.
