IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.621 of 2008 1. Jagdish Yadav. 2. Sudama Yadav. 3. Hari Charan Yadav. 4. Chaturanand Yadav. / all sons of Late Bishun Yadav R.O.V Chakki, Police Station Brahmpur, Dist-Buxar Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. Director General of Police, Bihar Patna. 3. Superintendent of Police, Buxar. 4. District Magistrate, Buxar. 5. Sub-Divisional Officer, Dumraon, district Buxar. 6. Officer in Charge, Brahmpur Police Station Dist-Buxar ----------- 3 22.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Counter affidavit has also been filed. The case of the petitioners is that he has not been protected by law enforcing agencies with respect to his life and properties which is threatened at the hands of anti-social elements of village Chakki and thus he has moved before this Court for a direction that he may not be dispossessed from peaceful possession in respect of the lands which he has mentioned in the main petition. The respondents in their counter affidavit have basically stated that the question of title suit is involved and thus the petitioners saying that he is in a possession of the said land by way of any right cannot be sustained and the administration cannot be used as a duly in private hands took a favour to the party in a purely private dispute. This Court think that the stand of the respondents is not misplaced. However, it is equally true that the petitioners are entitled to the protection granted to them by the constitution as a 2 citizen of India and the respondent State authorities, especially the agencies entrusted with maintaining law and order are duty bound to give such protection. In that view of the matter if the petitioners approach the respondents especially the Superintendent of Police, Buxar Respondent No. 3, making a grievance that their life and property are under threat, the same shall be taken due cognizance and necessary protection provided to them. It is also the duty of the administration otherwise to insure that no unlawful activity takes place and public peace is maintained. With the above mentioned observations and directions, the writ petition stands disposed off. Prakash (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
