THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.31931 of 2011 ORDER: The only relief that has been pressed by Sri Nazir Ahmed Khan, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, in this Writ Petition is to direct the respondents to provide police protection to the petitioner who is running a hotel at Nampally Railway Station Road. According to the petitioner, respondent Nos.4 and 5 are creating nuisance in the hotel claiming themselves to be the tenants of the said property. He would submit that respondent No.4 had filed a suit in O.S.No.1901 of 2011 on the file of the III Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad seeking perpetual injunction along with I.A.No.486 of 2011 seeking temporary injunction, and the learned Judge, by order dated 16.09.2011, dismissed the said I.A. It is his grievance that the representation dated 29.11.2011 submitted by him to the Inspector of Police, Nampally Police Station, Hyderabad (third respondent) seeking police protection is still pending consideration, and till date no order has been passed thereon. Learned Government Pleader for Home would submit that it is not the third respondent but the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Zone Police Control Room, Nampally, Hyderabad (second respondent) who is the competent authority to decide the petitioner’s representation seeking police protection. I consider it appropriate, therefore, to permit the petitioner to submit a representation, seeking police protection, to the second respondent within one week from today. In case such a representation is submitted the second respondent, after causing such enquiry as he considers appropriate, shall pass an order on the petitioner’s representation in accordance with law within four weeks therefrom; and communicate the decision to the petitioner within the aforesaid period. The Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:21.12.2011 usd
