Mr. Surendra Kumar Singh appears on behalf of the petitioner. State is represented by Assistant Counsel to 2 Additional Advocate General 3. Petitioner or for that matter any individual shall be entitled for individual security only in a case in which his life is in danger. For that threat perception is required to be assessed. It is not for this Court to examine the threat perception of the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for issuance of a writ commanding the respondents to provide security is not fit to be granted by this court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. However, this will not preclude the petitioner from approaching the Superintendent of Police, Sheikhpura, respondent no.4, for providing him the security. In case such a prayer is made respondent no.4 shall consider the same in accordance with law. The application stands dismissed with the observation aforesaid. (C.K. Prasad, ACJ.) AAhmad 3
