The petitioner would state that her daughters are harassing her and they, with the help of the fourth respondent police, had come to her house and demolished the staircase and threatened her to execute a sale deed in their favour. In this regard, a complaint was given to the fourth respondent police, but the same has not been enquired into. Therefore, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. When the writ petition came up for admission in the morning, the learned Government Advocate was directed to get instructions.
