As regards prayer for police protection, the applicant has already filed Writ Petition No.581 of 2007 which has been disposed off on 10th April 2007 making him clear that in 2 2 2 case of police protection, it will be for the petitioner to approach the concerned police with an appropriate application specifying such need for police protection and the police authority to decide the same in accordance with the provisions of law. 2. As regards grievance relating to failure on the part of police authority to investigate the complaint regarding alleged threats received by the applicant/petitioner, it has been disclosed by the learned APP that the police have already registered a N.C. Complaint in that regard as the complaint of the complainant nowhere discloses the nature of threats allegedly received by the petitioner. Even in the application, the applicant/petitioner has not disclosed the nature of threats. In the circumstances, no fault can be found with the police authority in recording the complaint as N.C. Complaint. 3. In the result, there is no case made out to interfere with. Hence Criminal Application is rejected.
