No.38115 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 17th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J The petitioner has approached this Court seeking protection for his life in view of the threats allegedly raised by the 4th respondent against him. The further prayer in the Writ Petition is that the police officers be directed to take up Ext.P1 complaint submitted by the petitioner and take appropriate action. 2. On considering the Writ Petition for admission this Court on 22/12/10 issued the following interim order:- “Respondents 2 and 3 will look into the complaint of threat to the life of the petitioner from the 4th respondent, and, if the complaint is found to be genuine, respondents 2 and 3 will provide sufficient protection to the life of the petitioner as against the 4th respondent for two weeks.” 3. Sri.M.K.Aboobacker the learned senior Government Pleader on the basis of the instructions submitted that an W. P. C. No.38115 of 2010 -2- enquiry was conducted pursuant to the above interim order. In the enquiry the police tried to bring forth a settlement of the issue between the parties. That effort was unsuccessful. The petitioner did not bring any evidence for proving the allegations in Ext.P1. Thus, the police was not able to take any action against the party respondents on the basis of Ext.P1. At the moment there is no law and order situation in the area on account of the dispute between the parties. We record all the submissions of the learned Government Pleader. We dispose of the Writ Petition declining the relief sought for, however, directing the 2nd respondent to keep vigil over the area of the petitioner and the 4th respondent and to ensure that the dispute between the petitioner and the 4th respondent does not give rise to any law and order situation.
