ORDER

2.

It is stated in the affidavit that the petitioner incorporated a company in the name and style of M/s. Ashish Infra Developers (India) Private Limited, under the Companies Act, 1956, for development and construction works and he is also the Treasurer of opposition political party (TDP) in the State. It is stated that though he obtained injunction order from the civil Court for construction work with regard to subject property, the owners of property are threatening him with dire consequences if he did not stop construction. Therefore, he made a representation dated 17.10.2016 to the 2nd and 3rd respondents to provide personal police security with armed police personnel to his life and property, but no action has been taken thereon. Hence, he filed the present writ petition.
