JUDGMENT Basant, J. Petitioners, father, son and daughter-in-law have come to this Court with this petition seeking issue of directions under Art.226 to respondents 1 to 3 police officials to afford police protection to them against apprehended violent conduct on the part of respondents 4 to 6. Petitioners have lend money to respondents 4 to 6. They allegedly demanded return of money. This allegedly infuriated respondents 4 to 6 and they started their contumacious, culpable and violent conduct against the petitioners. Police are guilty of inaction. It is with these allegations that the petitioners came to this Court with this petition claiming police protection. 2. Respondents 4 to 6 have entered appearance. They denied the allegations. According to them the boot is on the other leg. They have no intention to vex or attach the petitioners but they apprehend culpable conduct from the petitioners towards them. WPC 11718/2010 2 3. The learned Govt. Pleader after taking instruction from respondents 1 to 3 submits that the needful and necessary action has already been taken by respondents 1 to 3. Two crimes have been registered. Necessary steps in the crime have been taken. There is no apprehension of any violence now. If there be any such threat from respondents 4 to 6 against petitioners 1 to 3 or vice versa, necessary action shall be taken by the police submits the learned Govt. Pleader on behalf of respondents 1 to 3. 4. We have considered all the relevant inputs. We find absolutely no reason to issue any further directions or continue with any interim directions now. We accept the submissions of the learned Govt. Pleader. 5. This writ petition is in these circumstances dismissed with the above observations. R.BASANT Judge K.
