An octogenarian lady has approached this court complaining that there is threat to her life and limbs from the 3rd respondent. According to her, as it was noticed that the 3rd respondent is putting up an unauthorised construction on the PWD road she filed complaints before the Panchayat Secretary as well as before the Executive Engineer of the concerned Division of the PWD. Her filing the complaints antagonised the 3rd respondent. The 3rd respondent ,who is a man with criminal background, is now threatening the petitioner with danger to life and limbs.

According to us, it is not necessary that we examine the truth or otherwise of WPC.No.31220/2011 2 the allegations of the petitioner. 3. According to the petitioner, she has submitted a copy of Ext.P4 before the first respondent - Station House Officer. The first respondent is directed to take up Ext.P4 (its copy) immediately, treat the same as an original complaint submitted before him. The first respondent will conduct an immediate enquiry into Ext.P4. As part of the enquiry, the first respondent can either summon or meet the 3rd respondent. If the enquiry reveals that there is truth in the allegations of the petitioner that there subsists threats to the petitioner's life or limb from the 3rd respondent, the first respondent shall take such action as is necessary for ensuring that the petitioner is able to live peacefully and that the petitioner's life and limbs are safe.
