The petitioner is the Managing Director of a Company, by name Subramania Selva Covering Jewellers Limited, which is engaged in the business of gold covering jewellery at Ollur. As part of an expansion programme, the petitioner decided to start a micro plating unit at Ollur with modern facilities. It is alleged that respondents 5 and 6, on coming to know of the same, informed the petitioner that they will not permit him to start the business in Kerala. Though an amicable settlement was made in this regard, respondents 5 and 6 were not willing and ready to accept the same and Ext.P1 notice was issued to the petitioner by the said respondents. Thereafter, anonymous calls were received threatening the petitioner. The petitioner filed Ext.P2 complaint before the Circle Inspector of Police, Ollur Police Station, but no action was taken on it. Hence this Writ Petition seeking appropriate reliefs. WP(C) No.12851/09 2 2. Pursuant to the notice issued, respondents 5 and 6 entered appearance through counsel. No counter affidavit is filed by the said respondents. However, the learned counsel appearing for respondents 5 and 6 would deny the allegation raised in the writ petition. They would state that no threat as alleged, is caused to the petitioner, nor is there any such intention. The same is recorded. In the factual situation, however, in case of any threat to the life of the petitioner or to the carrying on of the business in a legal manner, the third respondent CI of Police, Ollur Police Station will afford necessary protection to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.BHAVADASAN, JUDGE sta WP(C) No.12851/09 3 WP(C) No.12851/09 4
