He seeks protection of his own life and liberty as well as of his wife and children. The petitioner alleges that he had gone to the office of the Sub Registrar for execution of a Power of Attorney in favour of his wife on 08.01.2007 which he actually executed and is duly entered at S.No. 371. However, respondents NO.6 to 9 are alleged to have played fraud and also got executed a sale deed from him which is stated to have been entered at S.No.373 in the C.W.P NO. 5167 OF 2009 -2- daily Register on the same date.

The petitioner is stated to have made series of complaints and has run from pillar to post with representations dated 19.03.2008, 09.04.208, 22.04.2008, 08.05.2008, 15.05.2008, 23.05.2008, 17.06.2008, 19.08.2008, 08.09.2008, 18.09.2008, 16.10.2008, 17.11.2008, 16.12.2008, 12.01.2009 and 13.01.2009 (Annexures P-2 to P-5, P-7 to P-10 and P-12 to P-22), but no tangible action appears to have taken on these representations except to provide some lift service to the petitioner. In these circumstances and keeping in view the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Senior Superintendent of Police, District Ferozepur, to immediately take cognizance of the petitioner's complaint and take appropriate action as may be warranted in law. The needful shall be done within a period of more than two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. MARCH 31, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
