Kandpal, J. {Oral}) By way of this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has sought relief for issuing writ in the nature of mandamus directing the Senior Superintendent of Police, Almora-respondent no. 2 and Station House Officer-respondent no. 3, Police Station Ranikhet, District Almora to provide police protection to her in order to spend her marital life peacefully. Heard Sri Lokendra Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri S. S. Adhikari, learned A.G.A. for the respondent nos. 1, 2 and 3 and also perused the material available on record before us. Having considered the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner we are of the view that it is not a case in which writ of mandamus should be issued at this stage. However, we direct that the petitioner may move representation before the respondent no. 2, i.e. Senior Superintendent of Police, Almora who keeping in view the danger of the petitioner and after assessing actual situation 2 with regard to the danger to the life of the petitioner shall provide police protection to the petitioner as and when required. With the above observation the writ petition is finally disposed of. Interim Relief Application No. 8792 of 2009 stands disposed of accordingly. (B.S.Verma, J.) (B.C.Kandpal, J.) 13.10.2009 RMY 3
