THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU W.P. No. 20147 of 2003 Dated:17.09.2007 Between: K. Krishna. ..Petitioner. and The Commissioner of Police, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad and others. ..Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU W.P. No. 20147 of 2003 ORDER Petitioner, a freed bonded labour, filed this petition seeking a direction to the respondents to provide police help to him to continue in the residential accommodation allotted to him. The case, in brief, of the petitioner is that he and the other freed bonded labour were allotted some houses for their residence. The unsocial elements in that area had forcibly occupied those houses by dispossessing them, and on their complaint, those unsocial elements were evicted and they were given possession of the residential quarters. Again, the unsocial elements are threatening to evict them from the premises allotted to them but the respondents are not taking action in spite of his giving several complaints and so, he filed this petition seeking a direction to the respondents to provide adequate protection. In the counter filed by the 2nd respondent on behalf of respondents, it is alleged that two police pickets were posted at the place where the freed bonded labour are housed and whenever reports are given, they are taking action and it will be difficult for increasing the police force in that area due to lack of manpower, but they are ready and willing to give protection whenever required. In the circumstances stated in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, petitioner, whenever he feels that there is a threat by the unsocial element, can give a report to the police concerned. On receiving such a report, the respondents by taking adequate steps shall protect the possession of the petitioner in respect of the residential quarters allotted to him. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________​_____ C.Y.SOMAYAJULU, J Dated: 17.09.2007 SJ
