HARI RANI, JJ. ------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 3389 of 2010-W ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of February, 2010 JUDGMENT Basant,J. It appears that there are certain disputes between the petitioner herein and the 6th respondent. The 6th respondent has been served; but there is no representation. The petitioner prays for an order to direct respondents 1 to 5 - police officials, “to provide adequate police protection to the life of the petitioner and his family members”. That is the prayer pressed before us in this petition at the time of hearing. 2. We do note that there is some dispute between the petitioner and the 6th respondent. But we are unable to perceive any threat to the life of the petitioner and his family members. While there is a dispute with another citizen, the attempt to run to court and obtain such blanket orders must W.P.(C) No. 3389 of 2010 -: 2 :- certainly be discouraged. We are unable perceive any threat to the life of the petitioner and his family members on account of the dispute between him and the 6th respondent. If there be any such threat to life, needless to say a complaint showing all the details of such threat can be filed before the appropriate police officer. We have no reason to assume that in the event of such a real threat, respondents 1 to 5 shall not take the requisite action. They should. No further orders or better directions appear to be necessary in this writ petition. For resolution of the dispute between the petitioner and the 6th respondent, the option of the petitioner to approach the appropriate legal fora for remedy shall remain unfettered by the dismissal of this petition. 3. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed with the above observations. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- M.C. HARI RANI (Judge) Nan/ //true copy/ P.S. to Judge W.P.(C) No. 3389 of 2010 -: 3 :-
