K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR & V.K.MOHANAN,JJ. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.14505 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T ~~~~~~~~~~~ Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner is a senior citizen aged 61 years. She is residing with her husband who is aged and infirm. Their younger children M/s. Manu Kumar and Shine were engaged in various businesses. For that, they have availed loans from the respondents 5 to 10, who are engaged in money lending. Since their sons failed to repay the amount, the petitioner submits, they are threatening and harassing the petitioners to vacate their residential building and surrender the same to them. On 4.5.2008 at 9.30 p.m. they came to her residential building, threatened them and stated that they have engaged goonda gangs to finish them. The petitioner therefore filed Ext.P1 petition before the respondents 1 to 4 and thereafter, this writ petition is filed, seeking protection to her life. 2. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that copy of Ext.P1 has not been received in the local police station. The respondents 5 and 10 appeared through W.P.(C) No.14505/2008 2 counsel and submitted that they have no intention, whatsoever, to physically harm the petitioner. The allegations made to that effect are absolutely unfounded. The 5th respondent would submit that the petitioner's sons borrowed an amount of Rs.5,00,000/- and the said respondent has taken legal steps to recover the amount. The 10th respondent would submit that he is running an Ice Cream Parlour and he has nothing to do with the petitioner and he has been unnecessarily impleaded in this writ petition. 3. We record the submissions made on behalf of respondents 5 and 10. If there is any threat or violence against the petitioner or her husband, she may inform the 4th respondent. In that event, the 4th respondent shall look into the same and if the allegations are found genuine, the said respondent shall take necessary action to protect them. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE) (V.K.MOHANAN, JUDGE) ps
