The petitioner, a former Lecturer in Physiology, who retired in the year 2005 has filed this writ petition seeking the following reliefs: “I. To issue a writ of mandamus commanding the agents of the state to stop all interference with the petitioner's life and liberties including interference with his privacy, home and correspondence and attacks upon his honour and reputation. II. To issue such orders that ensure that the petitioner is recognised everywhere as a person before the law and is given a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal where there is provisions for cross examining the witnesses, and where the petitioner has representation in full equality, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charges against him, and III. That the Hon'ble court may be pleased to issue a writ of certiorari quashing any decision or decisions made by courts and/or tribunals of the land in the past in contravention of the petitioner's right vide article 14 of the constitution of India. IV. The petitioner also prays that in case any decision on the mental capacity and competence of the petitioner has already been taken, the Hon'ble Court may be pleased to order a review where the petitioner has full representation and that the petitioner be heard in person before any decisions on this aspect is taken.” W.P.(C) No. 35016/09 2 2. He has also prayed for the following interim relief: “Thanks to the persistent pestering by the secret police, the petitioner is functioning at a fraction of his potential. In views of the above the petitioner begs this Hon'ble Court to issue urgent interim orders restraining the agencies of the government from interfering with the petitioner's privacy, home and correspondence and command them to withdraw immediately, their personnel and informers let loose on the petitioner.” 3. The grievance voiced by the petitioner in this writ petition is that he is being tailed by spies and extremists and that his life is in danger. The petitioner has however not been able to point out any specific instance where his life was threatened or his personal liberty attempted to be interfered with. Apart from vague averments and setting out various problems which he faces in life, he has not been able to state with precision what exactly is the threat to his life or to his personal liberty. The reliefs prayed for by the petitioner cannot therefore be granted by this Court. In such circumstances, I find no grounds to entertain this writ petition. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE vps W.P.(C) No. 35016/09 3
