As directed by us, Sri.M.K.Aboobacker the learned senior Government Pleader has taken notice on behalf of respondents 1 to 4. 2. The complaint voiced by the petitioner is that even though there is subsisting threat to his life and limbs from the part of the party respondents and he has submitted Ext.P1 complaint before the police officers, no action so far has been taken by the officers into Ext.P1. In the nature of the limited relief ,which is being given to the petitioner hereunder, we are of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of even without issuing notice to the party respondents. We dispose of this writ petition with the following directions; The 4th respondent is directed to take up Ext.P1 immediately and conduct an enquiry into the same. If the WPC.No.27796/2011 2 enquiry reveals that there is truth in the allegations contained therein, the 4th respondent will take such action as is necessary for protecting the life and limbs of the petitioner, a senior citizen aged 80 years, from any danger.
