THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.12697 of 2007 Between: M.Rajagopal Reddy. .. PETITIONER and The Government of Andhra Pradesh and others. .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: It is stated that the petitioner is an active worker of Congress party of Nandyal Parliamentary Constituency. His uncle one Sri S.P.Y.Reddy was elected as a member of parliament from Nandyal Parliamentary Constituency. As he is nephew of Sri S.P.Y.Reddy, threat is anticipating from Maoist as Nandyal Town is Fringe of Nallamala Forest. Further, there is threat to his life from political opponents in Nandyal area. Therefore, he requested the respondents to provide Gunman. Accordingly, the respondents provided Gunman since 11-10-2005 till 12-04-2007 on payment of necessary charges and thereafter the Gunman was withdrawn. It is stated that the petitioner is always ready and willing to pay necessary charges to the Gunman, but without assigning any reasons and without any justification, whatsoever, the Gunman was abruptly withdrawn. Admittedly, in the instant case, no material has been placed before this Court to show that police have given security to the petitioner keeping in view the threat perception and with regard to withdrawal of the Gunman. However, as the petitioner made a representation before the 3rd respondent on 27-04-2007, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 3rd respondent to consider and dispose of the said representation. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion as to the merits of the case, the 3rd respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner, dated 27-04-2007, keeping in view the threat perception of the petitioner, in accordance with law and in accordance with the G.Os., issued from time to time. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 19-06-2007 Prv
