Petitioners have approached this Court seeking the following reliefs: “A. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing respondents 1 to 3 to provide adequate protection to the life of the petitioners till the time they board their departure flight to UAE on 21/8/2010. B. Direct respondents 1 to 3 to take action pursuant to Ext.P1.” 2. We heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel appearing for respondents 4 and 5 and also the learned Government Pleader. The apprehension of the petitioners is that the petitioners who are proposing to return to Gulf on 21.8.2010 W.P.(C).NO.26087/2010 I 2 (learned counsel submits that 24.8.2010) have been threatened with blocking of the route by respondents 4 and 5 with their henchmen. 3. Learned counsel for respondents 4 and 5 would submit that they have no intention to make any threat to the life of the petitioners. We record the submission and in case any threat is brought to the notice of respondents 2 and 3 by the petitioners as against respondents 4 and 5, respondents 2 and 3 shall provide protection to the petitioners as against respondents 4 and 5. We make it clear that we have not gone into the correctness of the allegations and if the matter comes up before any Court/Forum, the said Court/Forum will proceed to decide the matter untrammeled by anything contained in this Judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/= K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE Sd/= M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS, kbk. JUDGE //True Copy/ PS to Judge. W.P.(C).NO.26087/2010 I 3
