JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13534 of 2009 ORDER:- The unfortunate parents of respondent Nos.5 approached this Court by way of this writ petition complaining against the inaction of the police in coming to their rescue to prevent respondent No.5 from perpetrating cruelty on them. Being unable to bear with the harassment by respondent No.5, the petitioners are stated to have approached respondent No.3 and when no action was forthcoming from him, they approached respondent No.2 with a representation. As nothing positive emerged from the said efforts, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. Respondent Nos.2 and 3 filed separate counter affidavits, wherein it is inter alia stated that the disputes between the petitioners and respondent No.5 are civil in nature and are primarily of family disputes. It is, however, stated that if the petitioners are facing threat from respondent No.5, they are at liberty to approach the police for their protection. Having regard to the above stand of respondent Nos.2 and 3, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to approach respondent No.3, as and when they face treat from respondent No.5. On being approached, respondent No.3 shall afford appropriate protection to the petitioners and take action according to law. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.17596 of 2009 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
