The writ petition is filed mainly with the following prayer:- ii. issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order directing the respondent Nos.1 to 3 to afford adequate and effective police protection to the life and property of the petitioner and his workers to carry out and complete the work awarded as per the work order Nos.11/AEE/CMSD/09-10 to 15/AEE/CMSD/09-10. Learned counsel for the party respondents submits that the allegations raised in the writ petition are wholly untrue. When the work itself was awarded only on 25-7-2009 the allegation that the party respondents threatened the petitioner cannot be true. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner the party respondents have been W.P(C)No.22683 of 2009 -:2:- threatening the petitioner for quite some time. Be that as it may, the party respondents do not have a case that they are entitled, in any way, under law to prevent the petitioner from executing the work. They cannot claim any right which is not granted to them under the Constitution or under any statute. In the above circumstances this writ petition is allowed directing respondents 1 to 3 to render necessary protection to the petitioner and his workers to execute the works referred to in the prayer extracted above.
