THE HONOUABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 14868 of 2006 Date:16-03-2007 Between: Kurukuntla Subbarayudu Naidu and two others .. PETITIONER AND The Superintendent of Police, Kadapa and two others .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the second respondent in refusing to provide police protection from the third respondent and his men as illegal, and arbitrary and to direct the first respondent to issue necessary instructions to the concerned for providing police protection. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the second respondent refused to register the complaint lodged by the third petitioner on 06.07.2006. 3. On instructions, the learned Government Pleader for Home submits that the aforesaid complaint has been considered and the second respondent has registered a case in Crime No.70 of 2006 on 15.08.2006, but insofar as giving police protection is concerned, no representation has been filed before the police so far. However, the learned GP further submits that, if the petitioners apprehend that there is danger to their personal life and liberty, it is open for them to make a representation before the police concerned. In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:16.03.2007 CCM/DSK
