The petitioner is, at present, residing at Kollam. He alleges threat to his life from the 6th respondent. The 6th respondent entered appearance through counsel and filed a counter affidavit, denying the allegations raised against him. According to the 6th respondent, some disputes are there with respect to a shop at Mumbai and the said respondent has filed a complaint against the petitioner. The 6th respondent submits, the present attempt of the petitioner is only to get away from the enquiry being conducted into the said complaint, by the Mumbai police. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the State submits that the petitioner came to Kerala for two months' stay and for the said period, he wants protection. But, the said period is already over, it is submitted. According to the petitioner, he continues to reside in Kerala. In such circumstances, without WP(C) 12370/09 2 going into the merits of the allegations and counter allegations raised in the Writ Petition, we direct the police that in case there is any threat to the life of the petitioner from whichever quarters, he may be given protection at his residence. But, this direction will not stand in the way of the police, investigating into any complaint made by the 6th respondent against the petitioner in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.BHAVADASAN, JUDGE sta WP(C) 12370/09 3
