PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C).No.25283 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. In this writ petition under Article 226 the petitioner, who is a 67 year old man, seeks protection for his life from the alleged atrocities and contumacious acts of the 2nd respondent his own wife, the 3rd respondent his son and the 4th respondent his brother-in-law and 5th respondent his brother-in-law's son. It is alleged that the petitioner is leading a solitary life in the house situated on a property having an extent of 4 cents belonging to him. The 2nd and 3rd respondents are living separately. It is also alleged that there has been estrangement between the petitioner and the party respondents and the party respondents are threatening and doing so many contumacious acts causing fear in the mind of the petitioner. It is also alleged that acting on the complaints submitted by the petitioner, the police have already registered two crimes against the party respondents which were charge sheeted after investigation. Even then, threat WPC.No.25283/2011 2 continues so alleges the petitioner. Having regard to the averments in the writ petition and the documents produced along with the same, we feel that this writ petition can be disposed of even without issuing notice to the respondents. Ext.P2 is the complaint recently submitted by the petitioner before the first respondent. We direct the first respondent to look into Ext.P2 immediately, conduct necessary enquiries by summoning the party respondents and if the enquiry reveals that the allegations of threat and danger to the lives of the petitioner raised in Ext.P2 are true, the first respondent is directed to take such action as is necessary for protecting the life of the petitioner from any danger on account of the party respondents.
