KURIAKOSE & C. K. ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ W. P. C. No.17100 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 29th day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J The petitioner, a lady aged 82 years has approached this Court seeking police protection for her life from the threats caused by the 4th respondent, another lady. The learned Government Pleader, Smt.C.M.Charisma on the basis of instructions submitted that there was some financial transaction between the 4th respondent and the 5th respondent, who is son of the petitioner. As if to claim amounts allegedly due to her from the 5th respondent, the 4th respondent trespassed into the residential house of the petitioner and tried to assault her. Narakkal Police has registered a crime as Crime No.508/11 which is under investigation. The learned counsel appearing for the 4th W. P. C. No.17100 of 2011 -2- respondent submitted that the 4th respondent is presently residing at Moovattupuzha. According to him, the 4th respondent has no intention at all to go anywhere near the petitioner for recovering amounts which are due to her from the 5th respondent. 2. Having considered the submissions addressed, we are of the view that the first respondent who is investigating into crime No.508/11 is to complete the investigation at the earliest so that final report can be submitted to the concerned court without delay. The apprehension voiced by the petitioner, an 82 year old lady that there is threat on her life from the 4th respondent cannot be said to be totally unfounded. Therefore, we direct the first respondent to entertain any complaint which may be received from the petitioner in future of apprehended danger on account of the 4th respondent and to take immediate action upon such complaint. At any rate, the first respondent will ensure that W. P. C. No.17100 of 2011 -3- no danger is caused to the petitioner's life on account of the 4th respondent. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE C. K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE kns/-
