THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.12392 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner has filed the present writ petition questioning the notice, dated 29-03-2011, issued by the 4th respondent, wherein the security provided to the petitioner was withdrawn. The petitioner has averred that he was provided 1+1 gunmen security with Carbon Weapon at Government cost in the year 2007 and the same was being continued. However, the 4th respondent served notice on 29-03-2011 stating that the petitioner is not eligible for grant of personal security, as there is no threat perception and consequently, the security provided to the petitioner has been withdrawn. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is a political leader and some political leaders developed political rivalry against him and started giving threats to his life. In fact, they have also filed false criminal cases against him under Sections 302 and 307 IPC, which were ultimately ended in acquittal. He submits that the security earlier provided to the petitioner be ordered to be continued and the impugned order be set aside. A counter has been filed on behalf of the 4th respondent wherein it has been averred that the Security Review Committee comprising of Joint Director, S.I.B., Deputy Director, S.I.B., D.I.G. (Security), D.I.G. (Intelligence), Joint Secretary (Protocol) and I.G.P. (Grey hounds) as members and Inspector General of Police (Intelligence) as Nodal Authority, considered the case of the petitioner in its meeting held on 05- 03-2011 and it was found that there is no threat perception to the petitioner and accordingly, the impugned order withdrawing the security has been passed. After going through the counter filed on behalf of the 4th respondent, it is clear that the security initially provided to the petitioner in the year 2007 has been withdrawn on the ground that there is no threat perception to the petitioner. In the above circumstances, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. It is, however, made clear that in case any fresh threat perception to the petitioner is there, he may apply to the competent authority, which shall consider the case of the petitioner as per G.O.Rt.No.655, dated 13-03-1997 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date:21-06-2011 Prv
