Petitioner has approached this Court seeking the following relief: “ to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order directing respondents 1 to 3 to afford adequate and effective police protection to the life of petitioner and her family from the acts of violence of respondents 4 to 9.” 2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows: Petitioner is a senior citizen residing along with her husband, son and daughter in a small house in an extent of 4 cents of property. Respondents 4 to 9 are perpetrating systemic violence to drive the petitioner out of the property. Two attempts were made on her life. Though complained of to the police, no action was taken. Petitioner filed complaint through court. Police is hand-in-glove with the contesting respondents. 3. Learned Government Pleader was asked to file WPC 34772/2010 -2- statement. In the statement it is stated that on the basis of a complaint before the Magistrate crime was registered (Crime No.633/2010) and investigated. It was found false and a refer report is filed. Further complaint has been received on 22.10.2010 and that enquiry is still going on and prima facie there is no truth in the matter and that action will be taken in accordance with law. We record the same. We also leave it open to the petitioner to approach the civil Court if so advised in the matter. (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE. (M.C.HARI RANI) JUDGE. MS
