J U D G M E N T PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking police protection for his life and the lives of his family members. According to the petitioner, despite submitting several petitions, the police is not taking any action. Learned Government Pleader on the basis of instructions, submitted that the allegations are not correct. Considering the earlier petitions filed by the petitioner, the police registered crime against the party respondents and based on the petition submitted by the 1st respondent, crime was registered against the petitioner. Both these cases were thoroughly investigated and the charge sheets were laid in both the crimes. Those cases are now under trial. According to the police, at the moment there is no law and order situation and no subsisting threat to the lives of the 2 W.P.(C) No.23317 of 2011 petitioner and his family members. In view of the stand taken by the police, we don't find warrant for issuance of the direction sought for. However, we direct the 5th respondent to entertain any petition, which the petitioner or the party respondents may file in future complaining of any threat or danger to their lives, to conduct enquiry and take appropriate action as is warranted by the facts revealed from the enquiry.
