The petitioner has come to this Court seeking issue of directions to the third respondent to afford police protection to the petitioner to appear before the Taluk Surveyor - the second respondent, as directed by him in Ext.P6. The petitioner apprehends that the fourth respondent would raise illegal obstruction by indulging in culpable and violent acts. Ext.P6 notice issued by the second respondent obliges the petitioner to appear before the second respondent on 17.6.2011 at 10 a.m. We have no sufficient time to ensure that the fourth respondent is served. We therefore directed the learned Government Pleader to take instructions. 2. The learned Government Pleader after taking instructions submits that the third respondent is willing to afford adequate and sufficient protection to the petitioner to appear before the second respondent as directed in WPC No.15869 of 2011 2 Ext.P6. We are satisfied that the petitioner is duty bound and has to be permitted to appear before the second respondent as directed in Ext.P6. Accordingly, we are satisfied that this petition can be allowed without waiting for issue and return of notice to the fourth respondent. 3. In the result, a) This petition is allowed. b) The third respondent is directed to afford police protection to the petitioner for the purpose of appearing before the second respondent in response to Ext.P6 notice issued by the second respondent to him at 10 a.m. on 17.6.2011. Hand over copy to both the counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. sd/- R.BASANT JUDGE sd/- K.SURENDRA MOHAN JUDGE css/ true copy P.S.TO JUDGE
