GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.SANTOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMAN & K.HEMA, JJ. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO. 18910 OF 2007 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Raman, J. This is a petition for police protection for the life and property of the petitioner. Admittedly, the petitioner has approached the civil court by filing O.S.No.93 of 2006 before the Munsiff Court, Kuthuparamba for necessary relief as against his property. Hence, with regard to protection sought for as against the property, the petitioner can pursue the suit before the civil court. However, according to the petitioner, there is also threat to his life. Exhibit P7 is a complaint given to the police alleging assault. 2. The learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the State submitted that a case has already been registered and it is pending before the Magistrate's Court. According to the petitioner, subsequently, within a few days, another attempt of assault was committed and Exhibit P6 was given and no steps are taken to investigate the same. However, though any subsequent incident of assault is not specifically alleged in the Writ Petition, we make it WPC.18910/07 2 clear that in case there is a real threat to the life of the petitioner and if the petitioner approaches the police with a petition, necessarily the police shall look into the same and if there is any prima facie case of threat, necessary protection shall be afforded to the petitioner for his life. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
