K.M.Joseph, J.
Petitioner has approached this Court seeking the
following relief:
” to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate
writ, direction or order directing respondents 1 to 3 to
afford adequate and effective police protection to the life
of petitioner and her family from the acts of violence of
respondents 4 to 9.”
2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as
follows: Petitioner is a senior citizen residing along with her
husband, son and daughter in a small house in an extent of 4
cents of property. Respondents 4 to 9 are perpetrating
systemic violence to drive the petitioner out of the property.
Two attempts were made on her life. Though complained of to
the police, no action was taken. Petitioner filed complaint
through court. Police is hand-in-glove with the contesting
respondents.
3. Learned Government Pleader was asked to file
WPC 34772/2010 -2-
statement. In the statement it is stated that on the basis of a
complaint before the Magistrate crime was registered (Crime
No.633/2010) and investigated. It was found false and a refer
report is filed. Further complaint has been received on
22.10.2010 and that enquiry is still going on and prima facie
there is no truth in the matter and that action will be taken in
accordance with law. We record the same. We also leave it
open to the petitioner to approach the civil Court if so advised
in the matter.
