O R D E R

This Criminal Original petition has been filed to direct the respondents to provide adequate police protection to the petitioners and for their life and limb.

2.The second petitioner is the wife of the first petitioner. Since the petitioners are under threat from the proposed accused persons, the second petitioner made a representation on 05.06.2018 to the respondent police requesting to give adequate police protection for their life and limp. Since no action has been taken on the said representation, the petitioners are before this Court with the aforesaid prayer.

3.The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents would submit that the petitioners earlier submitted a representation on 24.05.2018 seeking adequate police protection. Hence, sufficient police protection has been given to the petitioners. Subsequently, the first petitioner gave a statement before the respondent police that the second petitioner is on medical leave. Therefore, no protection is required for the said period. Hence, the police protection was cancelled.

4.He further submitted that now the second representation dated 05.06.2018 has been made by the petitioners for the very same relief. However, the said representation has not yet been received by the respondent police. Therefore, the relief sought for by the petitioners cannot be granted.

5.In the light of the above submissions, this Court directs the petitioners to make a fresh representation to the second respondent and if any such representation is made by the petitioners, the second respondent is directed to consider the same in accordance with law.

6. With the aforesaid direction, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.
