The petitioner is a senior citizen. He has filed this writ petition, alleging repeated life threats and harassment from certain telephone numbers, causing disturbance to the calm and serene life of the petitioner and his family members, and seeking necessary directions for police protection. 2. By an interim order dated, 27.5.2009, we granted police protection to the life of the petitioner. 3. The party respondents have filed a counter affidavit. In that, respondents 4 to 8 deny the allegation made in the writ petition. According to them, they are not making any such telephone calls nor there is any intention to cause threat to the life of the petitioner. W.P.(C) No.14512 of 2009 2 4. It is not necessary for us to find out as to who has made the call. That is a matter for the police to enquire and take necessary action, if found true. Since the petitioner alleges threat to his life, whether it is at the instance of the party respondents or anybody else, he is entitled to protection to his life. In view of the above facts situation, we make the interim order, dated 27.5.2009, absolute and the writ petition is accordingly closed. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.BHAVADASAN , JUDGE. nj.
