THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.773 of 2011 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner is seeking a mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1 and 2 – police in not providing protection to her in spite of representation submitted by her against the third respondent, who is none other than her husband, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that she was married to the third respondent on 08.07.1999 as per Christian rites of the marriage in Prakasam District. It is her grievance that there are differences between her and the third respondent and he is harassing her, as such, she seeks directions to the police for grant of protection to her. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondents 1 and 2 that the petitioner has not approached the police by any representation. Even a perusal of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition shows that there is no reference to any representation made to respondents 1 and 2. In the absence of any representation to the police by the petitioner, there appears no basis for filing this writ petition, as such, no direction can be issued by this Court as prayed for. However, if there is any harassment by the third respondent, it does not preclude the petitioner to approach respondents 1 and 2 by way of a representation. I am sure, if any such representation is filed by the petitioner, respondents 1 and 2 will consider the same in accordance with law. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 31st JANUARY, 2011. kvni
