Interim relief application No. 15 of 2009 In WPCRL No. 3 of 2009 Hon’ble P.C. Verma, J. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Mr. Lok Pal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioners. Mr. Nandan Arya, learned A.G.A. for the respondents. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent No. 1 to 3 to provide security to the petitioners and they may be directed to ensure that the respondent Nos. 4 and 5 may not harass. The petitioners have a remedy before the State Government on the administrative side, therefore, we are not inclined to entertain the petition. However, it is open for the petitioners to approach the State Government if any action is due on the part of the police agency. On failure on the part of the State Government in taking any step regarding protection of the life and liberty of the petitioners, the petitioners may approach this Court. The petition is dismissed on the ground of alternative remedy. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) (P.C. Verma, J.) 6-1-2009 6-1-2009 M.K.
