This writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs: “a) to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ order or direction directing the 2nd respondent to provide adequate police protection to the petitioner and his wife and children including his daughter, Asma with whom the 3rd respondent had a marriage proposal as evidenced by Exhibit P1. b) to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ order or direction directing the 2nd respondent to provide adequate police protection to the daughter of the petitioner Asma from being abducted either by the 3rd respondent himself or the goondas and quotation team engaged by him.” 2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows: The marriage between petitioner's daughter Asma and 3rd respondent was fixed. But, the petitioner came to know from the news paper report that the 3rd respondent has been arrested in connection with counterfeit of currency notes. He was arrested and released on bail. He absconded WPC No.31085/2010 -2- and was re-arrested while he was on bail. The unwillingness for the marriage was informed to the 3rd respondent and his family members by the petitioner and the matter was discussed between the two families and a final settlement was arrived at. Notwithstanding the same the 3rd respondent is adamant and he threatened that if he could not marry he would abduct the girl with the help of some quotation team and endanger the lives of the petitioner and his family members. 3. Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, would submit that on the basis of a complaint the 3rd respondent was called and he has undertaken that he will not cause any problems to the petitioner. We record the said submission and close the writ petition. (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE. (M.C.HARI RANI) JUDGE. MS
