The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking police protection for his life and limbs against respondents 1 and 2. According to the petitioner, there is subsisting threat to his life and limbs from the part of respondents 1 and 2 who are described as neighbours. A reading of the materials produced along with the writ petition, especially Ext.P2, will show that the petitioner's wife has serious mental ailment and there is some estrangement between the petitioner and his wife on account of the same. Whatever that be, it is on the basis that there is subsisting threat to his life and limbs from the part of respondents 1 and 2, that he has moved this court. W.P.(C) No. 32840 /2011 2 2. According to us, we need not examine the truth or otherwise of the allegations in the writ petition. Ext.P2 petition has been submitted before the 3rd respondent - Sub Inspector of Police. We direct the 3rd respondent to take up Ext.P2 and to conduct an enquiry. As part of the enquiry, the 3rd respondent can summon the respondents 1 and 2 as well as the father and brother of the petitioner's wife. If the enquiry reveals that, as alleged by the petitioner, there subsisted threat to the life and limbs of the petitioner from the part of respondents 1 and 2, it shall be the duty of the 3rd respondent to take such steps as are necessary for protecting the life and limbs of the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of as above. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.HARILAL, JUDGE. dpk W.P.(C) No. 32840 /2011 3
