WPMB No. 162 of 2003 Hon.Irshad Hussain, J. Hon. M.M.Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri Ranjeet Saxena learned counsel for the petitioner nd the learned C.S.C. a This is a petition for relief of writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to allow the petitioner to put the red light on the vehicle traveling with his convoy for security purposes and further direction to ensure the personal security of the petitioner who is said to be the distinguished citizen of the State of Uttaranchal. It has been contended by the learned counsel that under law the machinery of the State had to safeguard the security as a legal right to seek indulgence of the Court for his security purposes. It cannot be doubt that the district authorities are also the part of the State machinery and they can very well look into the affairs of the security of the citizens and the petitioner can very well move the district authorities if he has any apprehension of danger to his life or property and seek appropriate remedy through the said machinery of the State. Considering this we do not propose to entertain the petition for direction to the respondents. So far as the relief no. 1 is concerned, any direction to use red light on any other vehicle of the convoy of the petitioner can be given by the Union of India and the petitioner shall be at liberty to seek appropriate order in his favour by applying the concerned Ministry as has been done by him in the past. Considering this, the petition is disposed of finally with the direction that the petitioner shall move the district authorities and shall move concerned authority of the Union of India for his grievance.
