THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.28431 of 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed questioning the inaction of the respondents, in protecting the lands of the petitioner admeasuring Ac.5.26 gts. in Sy.Nos.326, 327 and 328 of Anmagal Hayathnagar (V&M), Ranga Reddy District, as being contrary to the provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. While the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition details the events leading to the petitioner apprehending threat to his property, it is wholly unnecessary for this Court to make any reference thereto in view of the counter affidavit now filed by the second respondent wherein at paragraph 5 it is stated that, while investigation was under progress, he had provided police protection to the subject lands of the petitioner; the subject lands were also visited by the police personnel along with the petitioner; and the petitioner was assured that protection would be provided as and when he requires. In view of the submission made by the second respondent that protection would be afforded to the petitioner as and when he seeks for protection to his property, I consider it appropriate to place this submission on record. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, closed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:04.11.2011 usd
