TO JUDGE. ln PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.23953 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of September, 2011. J U D G M E N T PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. In this writ petition, the petitioners who are respectively the grandfather, grandmother, mother and sister of the 3rd respondent, seek protection for their lives from the threats and other contumacious acts of the 3rd respondent. On considering this writ petition for admission, this Court passed an interim order directing the 2nd respondent to conduct an enquiry into Ext.P3 and to do the needful for protecting the lives of the petitioners from danger, if the enquiry reveals that there is truth in the allegation of the petitioners that there is threat to their lives. Smt.C.M.Charisma, learned Government Pleader submitted that as part of the enquiry, the 3rd respondent was summoned. The 3rd respondent undertook before the police that there will be no threats hereinafter against the petitioners. He also undertook that he will shift his residence from the house where the petitioners are residing, to some other house. Even though the 3rd respondent was served with notice, he has not turned up before this Court. Thus all the averments in the writ 2 W.P.(C) No.23953 of 2011 petition stand established by non-traverse. We are therefore of the view that, the writ petition can be disposed of in the following terms :- The 2nd respondent will keep vigil over the place of the residence of the petitioners and the 3rd respondent, and ensure that the lives of the petitioners are safe. If any complaint is received in future from any of the petitioners against the 3rd respondent, an enquiry will be conducted immediately and the needful for protecting the lives of the petitioners will be done.
