Petitioners have approached this Court seeking the
following relief:
“to issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ
order or direction directing the respondents 2 and 3 to
provide adequate and sufficient police protection to the
life of the petitioners their family members.”
2. The case of the petitioners in short is as follows:
There is threat to their lives and the lives of their family
members from the 4th respondent and two others. This is on
the basis that the brother of the petitioners’ Tahir owed
amounts to them. Tahir is in Dubai and he stated to the
petitioners that he had not borrowed any amount as alleged
by the trespassers.
3. The 4th respondent denies the allegations
made by the petitioner. A counter affidavit is filed by the 4th
respondent wherein cheques alleged to have been given by
Tahir have been produced. In view of the facts of the case,
the writ petition is disposed of as follows:
As and when petitioners bring to the notice of the
WPC No.22181/2010 -2-
3rd respondent any threat from the 4th respondent to their lives
or the lives of their wives, their children, their aged mother
and their elder sister from the 4th respondent, the 3rd
respondent shall look into the same and if the complaint of
threat is found to be genuine, he shall afford sufficient police
protection to the lives of the petitioners, the lives of their
wives, their children, their aged mother and their elder sister
from the 4th respondent. We make it clear that, if the matter
comes before any Court/forum in a lis between the parties,
the Court/forum shall proceed to decide the same
untrammelled by anything contained in this judgment.
