THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26713 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in withdrawing the security given to the petitioner, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the President of Kerameri Mandal Parishad and he was attacked by the radicals in 2001 and since then, he was provided security but thereafter, the same was withdrawn, though there is a threat to his life from the radicals. It is also his case that as threat continues against him, it is the duty of the respondents to give police security to him to safeguard his life. Counter-affidavit is filed by the third respondent – Reserve Inspector of Police, Bellampalli, Adilabad District. In the said counter-affidavit, it is stated that the petitioner himself involved in the following offences: i) Cr.No.11/98 u/Ss.353, 294 (b) r/w 34 IPC of PS Kerameri (acquitted on 11.9.2003 vide CC.No.269/08) ii) Cr.No.21/08 u/Ss.290, 323, 506 r/w 34 IPC of PS Kerameri (compromised on 19.4.2004 vide CC.No.18/99) iii) Cr.No.13/04 u/Ss.147, 506 r/w 149 IPC of PS Kerameri iv) Cr.No.26/08 u/Ss.143, 341 r/w 149 IPC of PS Asifabad (mistake of fact on 31.8.2008) It is further stated that the petitioner was already granted licensed 32 Revolver for his self-protection. It is further stated that the Security Review Committee, which met on 05.01.2008, after perusing the threat perception report and keeping in view the guidelines issued by the Government in G.O.Rt.No.655, Home (SC.B) Department, dated 13.03.1997, concluded to withdraw the security provided to the petitioner. It is also stated that as there is no threat to the life of the petitioner from any angle, he is not entitled for restoration of security to him. It is to be noted that it is for the Committee referred to above to assess whether the threat against the petitioner persists or not. It is to be noticed that the duly constituted Committee considered the threat perception against the petitioner in the meeting held on 05.01.2008 and came to the conclusion that there is no threat to his life and he is not entitled for restoration of security to him. It is also to be noticed that the petitioner himself involved in number of crimes, which were registered for various offences, and is also in possession of licensed 32 Revolver. In that view of the matter, I do not find any ground for issuance of directions as prayed for. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 22nd SEPTEMBER, 2011. kvni
