TO JUDGE. P.R.RAMAN & P.S.GOPINATHAN, JJ. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.6468 of 2009 ------------------------------- Dated this the 31st March, 2009 J U D G M E N T Raman, J. The petitioner is a widow who is living along with her two daughters aged 23 and 21 years of old and a grand daughter aged 3 ½ years. Fourth respondent is her son-in-law. It appears that there are some matrimonial disputes between the parties and cases filed by both of them are pending before the Family Court and the Magistrate Court. Though it is alleged that fourth respondent is trespassing in to the property and causing serious threat to the life of the petitioner and her daughters, it is denied by the 4th respondent. According to him, he is a Government employee working in a place 250 Kms. away from the place of the petitioner. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that though a crime was registered, there was no further investigation, since the accused is not available. W.P.(C) No.6468 of 2009 2 3. Having heard both sides and after perusing the averments made by the petitioner in the writ petition, we direct that if there is real threat to the life of the petitioner and their daughters, petitioner shall file a complaint before the Station House Officer of Kollam West Police Station, third respondent herein, whereupon, the third respondent shall enquire into the complaint and if he is satisfied that there is real threat to the life of the petitioner and her daughters, he shall afford necessary police protection. However, it is made clear that this will not affect the right of either of the parties in their respective cases pending before the courts below. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE. nj.
