ORDER

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to direct the first respondent to give adequate police protection to the life and limbs of the petitioner and his family members and also his property, based on the complaint given by the petitioner, dated 16.12.2024.

2. According to the petitioner, he is the owner of the property in S.No. 920/1 situated at Poomparai Village, Kodaikanal and the private respondents interfered with the petitioner's possession and enjoyment of the property and also they threatened the petitioner. Thereby, he lodged a complaint and a case in Crime No.208 of 2022 was registered. While so, again on 16.12.2024, the private respondents trespassed into the property and assaulted the petitioner's sister and also damaged crops worth about Rs.50,000/-. Therefore, the petitioner sent a complaint, dated 16.12.2024 and the same has not been considered. Hence, the petitioner filed this petition.

3. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the first respondent would submit that the complaint of the petitioner is under 2/5

consideration and they will take necessary action within a week after conducting enquiry.

4. Considering the limited scope of prayer sought for in this petition, this Court even without issuing notice to the private respondents is inclined to dispose of this petition.

5. Since the complaint of the petitioner, dated 16.12.2024 is under enquiry by the first respondent, it is for the first respondent to complete the enquiry and pass appropriate orders within a week. In view of the same, this Court directs the first respondent to complete the enquiry within a period of one

(1) week from the date of this order in accordance with law.

6. With the above said observations and directions, this Criminal Original Petition stands closed.
