HARI RANI, JJ. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO. 30591 OF 2010 Y ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 13th October, 2010. JUDGMENT K.M. Joseph, J. Petitioner has approached this Court seeking the following relief: “Direct respondents 1 and 2 to grant adequate protection to the life and liberty of the petitioner from the illegalities of respondents 3 and 4 by issue of writ of mandamus or such other writ or order or direction.” 2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows: Petitioner is aged 60. She is a widow and her only son died in an accident. The third respondent is a neighbour. Fourth respondent is the son of the brother of the petitioner who died in March, 2010. Petitioner has no legal heir except the children of her brother including the fourth respondent. Taking into WP(C).NO.30591/2010 Y 2 consideration of the above facts, the fourth respondent started harassing the petitioner with the help of the third respondent and he started intimidation also. They are attempting to endanger the life of the petitioner, knowing the fact that on the death of the petitioner, the properties and other assets of the petitioner will devolve upon the fourth respondent. There is allegation of trespass on 21.7.2010 by the third respondent and respondents 3 and 4 are even now threatening to kill the petitioner. Petitioner filed complaint. 3. We heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for respondents 3 and 4 and also the learned Government Pleader. Learned counsel for respondents 3 and 4 denies the allegations. He submits that the allegations in the Writ Petition are not correct and, at any rate, he submits that respondents 3 and 4 have no intention to cause any threat to the life of the petitioner. We record the said submission and dispose of the Writ Petition by directing that in case the petitioner brings to the notice of first WP(C).NO.30591/2010 Y 3 respondent any threat from respondents 3 and 4, the first respondent will look into the same and if the threat is found to be genuine, he shall afford protection to the life of the petitioner as against respondents 3 and 4.
