In this writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners who are husband and wife seek protection for their lives against alleged contumacious acts of respondent. They also seek a direction that Ext.P3 complaint submitted by them be investigated. The learned counsel for respondents 4 to 6 submitted that the allegations against those respondents are absolutely false. According to the learned counsel, the petitioners are responsible for the death of a new born child and it is to cover up that offence that they have approached this Court seeking police protection. 2. The learned Government Pleader submitted that the involvement of the petitioners into the offence pertaining to the death of the new born child is under investigation. The petitioners are not co-operating with the investigation. Due to the non appearance of the petitioners, enquiry cannot be conducted into Ext.P3 either. W.P.(C). No.14946/2010 -:2:- 3. Even though on behalf of the counsel for the petitioners an adjournment was sought for, we are not inclined to grant adjournment in this writ petition filed in 2010 where the petitioners could survive this far even without the aid of any interim order issued by this Court. We dispose of this writ petition directing the petitioners to appear before the 3rd respondent, Sub Inspector of Police, Devikulam so that he can conduct enquiry into Ext.P3 pursuant to this order and if the enquiry reveals that any threat subsists to the lives of the petitioners, the 3rd respondent will take appropriate action for ensuring that the lives of the petitioners are safe. sd/- PIUS C.
