ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ W. P. C. No.27082 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 13th day of October, 2011 ORDER Pius C. Kuriakose, J Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of respondents 1, 2 and 6. The grievance voiced by the petitioners who are husband and wife is that even as the civil dispute between them and the party respondents are pending before the competent civil court, the party respondents continue to threaten the petitioners with danger to life. According to them, though during previous occasions, the police took prompt action by registering crimes arraying the party respondents as accused when Ext.P8 petition was submitted in the wake of a recent incident, the police are adopting a sluggish attitude. 2. Having regard to the submissions of Sri.C.Harikumar, the learned counsel for the petitioners, the various avements in the Writ Petition as well as the materials placed W. P. C. No.27082 of 2011 -2- along with the Writ Petition, we are inclined to issue an interim order in the following terms:- 3. The 6th respondent Sub Inspector of Police, Pazhayannur is directed to take up Ext.P8 immediately and to conduct an enquiry into the same at any rate within 7 days of his receiving a copy of Ext.P8 from the petitioner. As part of the enquiry, the party respondents should also be summoned. If the enquiry reveals that the allegation of the petitioner that there is subsisting threat from the party respondents to their lives is correct the 6th respondent shall take such action as is necessary for protecting the life of the petitioner.
