PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & K.HARILAL, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C) NO. 32132 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 2nd day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. The petitioner, who belongs to Kurittissery Village in Alappuzha District, has approached this court seeking directions for police protection for her life from the threats, assaults and contumacious acts of the 7th respondent. She alleges that the 7th respondent is indulging in illegal sand mining from the banks and bed of Pampa river. The petitioner, who is opposed to this, had given complaint to the police against the illegal activities of the 7th respondent. This antagonised the 7th respondent. Thereafter, the 7th respondent is frequently threatening the petitioner and the petitioner is finding it difficult to live peacefully. 2. As directed by us, Sri.Dhanesh Mathew Manjooran learned Government Pleader has taken notice on behalf of respondents 1 to 6. 3. Having considered the averments in the writ petition and W.P.(C)32132/2011 2 the submissions of Sri.Vinod J.Dev learned counsel for the petitioner and those of the learned Government Pleader, we are of the view that it is not necessary that we decide on the truth or otherwise of the petitioner's allegations at this stage. Ext.P5 is seen submitted by the petitioner before the 6th respondent. ^he 6th respondent is directed to take up Ext.P5 immediately and to conduct a detailed enquiry into the same. As part of the enquiry, the 6th respondent can either summon or meet the 7th respondent. If the enquiry reveals that there subsists threat to the life and limbs of the petitioner from the part of the 7th respondent, the 6th respondent shall take such action as is necessary for protecting the life and limbs of the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of as above. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.HARILAL, JUDGE. dpk W.P.(C)32132/2011 3
