JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner has approached this Court, alleging that the 3rd respondent is threatening her and her family members and their lives are in danger. Though the police was moved, they did not extend any protection. So, this Writ Petition was filed, seeking appropriate reliefs. This Court on 25.4.2008, directed the 2nd respondent to ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioner by the 3rd respondent or his henchmen. 2. We heard the learned Government Pleader for the official respondents and also the learned counsel for the 3rd respondent. The learned Government Pleader submitted that based on the complaints filed by the petitioner's husband, 60 crimes have been registered against the unauthorised removal of sand and 26 country boats have been seized. So, the persons connected with the illegal business of WPC 13523/2008 2 sand are inimical towards the petitioner's family. In view of the above facts, if there is any threat to the petitioner or to her family members, she may inform the respondents 1 and 2. In that event, the said officers shall render prompt and effective protection to their lives. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE. Nm/
