DISTRICT-PATNA. -RESPONDENTS 3 27.02.2009 Prayer of the petitioner is for a direction to respondents no.1 to 7 to provide security to him so that he could continue his business. Mr. Kumar Malendu appears on behalf of the petitioner. State is represented by Assistant Counsel to Government Advocate I. For providing security threat perception of an individual is to be assessed and this is primarily the duty of the law enforcing Agency. On the basis of the materials it is 2 difficult for this Court to analyze petitioner’s threat perception. In that view of the matter, prayer made by the petitioner for providing security is not fit to be granted in exercise of power under writ jurisdiction. Petitioner, if so advised, may approach respondent no.6, the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna, for providing security. Needless to state that in case he does so appropriate decision in accordance with law shall be taken by him. It is made clear that I have not expressed any opinion in regard to the claim made by the petitioner. The application is disposed off with the observation aforesaid. (C.K. Prasad, ACJ.) AAhmad
