THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO : 20954 of 2005 Dated: 27.09.2005 Between: Vangala Pedda Veera Reddy, S/o.Gangi Reddy, R/o.Jangalapally (Village), Peddamudiyam Mandal, Kadapa District. ..... PETITIONER AND The Superintendent of Police, Kadapa District, Kadapa. .....RESPONDENT ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Jangalapally village, Peddamundiyam Mandal, Kadapa District. Due to political rivalry, his younger brothers by names late Chinna Veera Reddy and Bala Veera Reddy were murdered and criminal cases were also registered against the accused and they are pending trial. The then Superintendent of Police gave police protection to the petitioner and his family members apprehending danger from the accused in the said C.C. But, the police protection was withdrawn subsequently. Thereafter the accused in the said criminal cases are threatening the petitioner and his family members with dire consequences. Apprehending danger from them, the petitioner made a representation to the respondent seeking police protection. However, no action is taken so far. Hence this writ petition. The concerned Station House Officer has to take appropriate decision as to whether the police protection is necessary for the petitioner or not, and shall provide police protection if necessary, after obtaining necessary permission from the concerned Superintendent of Police. The petitioner has not even filed any copy of the representation alleged to have been given by him. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to give appropriate representation to the concerned Station House Officer. No costs. ___________ 27.09.2005 sh
