It is her grievance that she has to attend to her final year B.Sc. examinations at Suryapet scheduled to be held from 26.03.2009 and since there is threat from her parents, she made a representation to respondents 1 and 2 herein, on 08.03.2009, seeking to provide protection, but no action has been taken thereon. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents 1 and 2, and in the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents 1 and 2 to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner and take necessary action in accordance with law, expeditiously. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 24th March, 2009 IBL
