IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.476 of 2008 Dhanushdhari Mandal son of Late Bodhan Mandal, resident of Maya Bazar, Paschna Road, Mandal Tola, P.O. & P.S. and District Lakhisarai Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Superintendent of Police, Lakhisarai. 3. The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Lakhisarai. 4. The Officer Incharge, Outpost Kabaiya, Lakhisarai ----------- 2 18/02/2009 The prayer of the petitioner is for a direction to the respondents to provide him security for protection of his life and property. Mr. Ashok Kumar appears on behalf of the petitioner. A.C. to G.A. IV appears for the State. For providing security threat perception of an individual is required to be assessed. This is not possible to be done by this Court on the materials available in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. Hence, the prayer made by the petitioner for directing the respondents to provide security is not fit to be granted by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. However, the petitioner shall be at liberty to approach respondent no. 2, the Superintendent of Police, Lakhisarai for providing security. Needless to state that in case such a prayer is made, the same shall be examined by the Superintendent of Police, Lakhisarai in accordance with law. This application stands dismissed with the observation aforesaid. (C. K. Prasad, ACJ.) AMIN - 2 -
