Instant petition has been brought under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for providing police protection to the petitioners against the harassment that is made by respondents 5 and 6. 2.
It is submitted that in the earlier order passed by this court in WPCR
Page No.2 No.373 of 2019 dated 19-06-2019 petitioner No.1 was directed to make representation to the Superintendent of Police Raipur/Jagdalpur and accordingly the representation was made and the petitioners were provided with police protection. Despite presence of police personnel again an incident has taken place on 05-07-2019, when the petitioner had been to appear in an examination in college along with one police personnel who was accompanying her. Even in the presence of the police personnel respondent No.5 and 6 who were armed with knife and firearms threatened and intimidated the petitioner No.2 and also tried to strangulate her, thereafter petitioner No.1 was sent to Sakhi Center where she was not provided with any police protection. Because of being intimidated by this incident, petitioner No.1 could not appear in the examination. Therefore, despite the representation of the Petitioner No.1 she has not been given proper protection, hence, it is prayed that appropriate order be passed.
3.
Learned counsel appearing for the State/ respondents 1 to 4 submits that the petitioner No.1 has left the Sakhi Center on 10-07-2019 and at present she is living in Nagarnar, Jagdalpur and seeking admission in College Hostel in Jagdalpur.
