THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ W.P.(C) No. 14786 of 2008-I ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dated this the 21st day of May, 2008 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Exts.P7 and P9. These are interim orders passed by the third respondent in a proceedings in which the petitioner is the second respondent. 2. By Ext.P7, the third respondent called for a report from the first respondent and directed to ensure stoppage of the work in question until further orders. By Ext.P9 order, the prohibition in Ext.P7 order was extended until further orders and it was ordered to forward the complaint filed by the petitioner before the third respondent alleging threat to her life to the Superintendent of Police with request to register a case and investigate the same. 3. As far as the interim orders passed are concerned, I do not find any absence of jurisdiction on the part of the third respondent justifying interference in a proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. If the petitioner is aggrieved, it is always open to her to move the third respondent, in which case, I have no reason to think that the third respondent will not consider W.P.(C).No.14786/2008-I -: 2 :- her request for an expeditious disposal of the matter itself or for vacating the interim orders. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner takes objection to the direction of the third respondent to forward the complaint to the Superintendent of Police for necessary action. When a complaint has been made by the petitioner before the third respondent alleging threat to her, there is nothing irregular in the third respondent forwarding the same to the Superintendent of Police with a “request” to take appropriate action in the matter. Reading Ext.P9, I do not find that any direction as such has been issued to register any case. The entire matter is now open before the Superintendent of Police and it is for him to take appropriate action in the matter. Therefore, reserving liberty to the petitioner to move the third respondent for appropriate orders in this matter, I dispose of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge ms
