PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C).No.29497 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 4th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. The petitioner, who is conducting a health club by name "New Style Health Club' at Kodungallore, has approached this court seeking protection for his life and limbs from the 2nd respondent who is none other than his own brother. The petitioner alleges that the 2nd respondent has attained notoriety in the locality as an unruly person and is involved in several crimes. Ext.P1 crime was registered on the basis of a complaint submitted by the petitioner himself that he was assaulted by the 2nd respondent. Even after the registration of Ext.P1 crime, the 2nd respondent made another attempt of assault on the petitioner. The petitioner is under constant fear on account of the 2nd respondent. Hence, it is prayed that the appropriate direction be issued to the police for protecting the life of the petitioner. WPC.No.29497/2011 2 We are not inclined to issue specific directions straight away. We find that Ext.P2 representation has been submitted by the petitioner before the 3rd respondent. We direct the 3rd respondent to take up Ext.P2 immediately and conduct a through enquiry into the same. If the enquiry reveals that the allegations therein are correct, it will be the obligation of the 3rd respondent to take appropriate steps either directly or through his subordinate officers to ensure that the lives and limbs of the petitioner and members of his family are safe. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM,JUDGE. dpk
