Petitioner has approached this Court alleging that there is threat to her life from respondents 3 and 4. It is pointed out by the learned Government Pleader that the petitioner has not made any demand. Without making a demand it is not open to a party to approach this Court seeking a writ of mandamus. In such circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition. It is open to the petitioner to make a demand for protection as against respondents 3 and 4 and if there is no action on the same she is free to approach this Court again. (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE.
