PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C).No. 18508 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 13th day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. This writ petition under Article 226 is filed by the petitioner, who claims to be the Secretary of an association of local people by name"Bangalamkunnu Poura Samithy", complaining that respondents 5 to 8, who are opposed to the very useful services which are being rendered by the Poura Samithy to the public generally, are threatening him. The prayer in the writ petition is that issue a writ of mandamus commanding respondents 1 to 4 to grant adequate protection to the life and property of the petitioner and his family members. 2. We, on considering the writ petition for admission on 8/7/2011, directed the Government Pleader to seek specific instructions from respondents 3 and 4 regarding the correctness of the averments in the writ petition. 3. Today, Sri.Vipindas, learned Government Pleader on instructions submitted that a petition was filed by the petitioner WPC.No.18508/2011 2 against 7th respondent and another petition was filed by the 7th respondent against the petitioner. Both the petitions were enquired into and on the basis of those petitions, Crime No.911/2011 has been registered arraying the petitioner as the accused under Sections 294B and 324. Crime No.914/2011 is registered arraying the 7th respondent as accused under the same sections. Both these crimes are being seriously investigated, so submitted the learned Government Pleader. 4. Having considered the submissions addressed at the Bar and the averments in the writ petition, it appears to us that there is likelihood of disturbances erupting on account of the dispute between the Poura Samithy , for which the petitioner is an office bearer, and the party respondents. Under the above circumstances, we dispose of this writ petition issuing the following directions; i). The Officer investigating into Crime Nos.911/2011 and 914/2011 will conduct the investigations with all seriousness and file reports at the earliest before the court concerned. ii). 4th respondent, Sub Inspector of Police, will keep vigil over the area where Bangalamkunnu Poura Samithy functions WPC.No.18508/2011 3 and do everything that is necessary to prevent commission of offences and to keep the law and order situation under control.
