HARILAL, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C).No.29992 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 10th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. In this writ petition under Article 226 the petitioner, who is a senior citizen, claims protection for his life as well as for the property which belongs to him by virtue of Ext.P1. When we suggested to Sri.Denizen Komath learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner will have to seek relief in respect of the property from a competent civil court, he submitted that it will suffice if the petitioner is given protection for life from the 3rd respondent his own sister, who is presently threatening him with danger to his life and limbs. 2. As directed by us, learned Government Pleader Sri.Dhanesh Mathew Manjooran has taken notice on behalf of respondents 1 and 2. 3. We are not inclined to examine the correctness of the allegations of the petitioner. It is seen that the petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 before the first respondent. We direct the first WPC.No.29992/2011 2 respondent to take up Ext.P3 and to conduct thorough enquiry into the same. It is open to the first respondent to meet the 3rd respondent in her residence in connection with the above enquiry. If the enquiry reveals that the petitioner's allegation that there is subsisting threat to her life and limbs from the part of the 3rd respondent is true, then the first respondent will take appropriate steps for protecting the life and limbs of the petitioner. As for the protection sought for in respect of the property, we relegate the petitioner to a competent Civil Court. The writ petition is disposed of as above. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K. HARILAL, JUDGE. dpk
