Dated:- 13.10.2009 Coram: Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal,J. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. {Oral}) By way of this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have sought relief for issuing writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent nos. 1 and 2 to protect the life and personal liberty of the petitioners from respondent nos. 3 to 6 by providing security to the petitioners. Heard Sri Rajendra Singh, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri S. S. Adhikari, learned A.G.A. for the State/respondent nos. 1 and 2, and also perused the material available on record before us. Having considered the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioners, we are of the opinion that this is not a case in which writ of mandamus should be issued at this stage. However, we direct that the petitioners may move representation before the respondent no. 1, i.e. Senior Superintendent of Police, Haridwar, who keeping in view the danger of the petitioners and after assessing 2 actual situation with regard to the danger to the life of the petitioners, shall provide police protection to the petitioners as and when required. With the above observation the writ petition is finally disposed of. Interim Relief Application No. 8833 of 2009 stands disposed of accordingly. (B.S.Verma, J.) (B.C.Kandpal, J.) 13.10.2009 RMY 3
