O RDER This criminal original petition has been filed seeking direction to the Respondents 1 & 2 to provide adequate Police Protection to the life and limb of the petitioner and his family members as against the Respondents 3 & 4, by considering the petitioner's representation dated 07.10.2023. 2.When the petitioner moved earlier application for similar relief in Crl.O.P.(MD).No.8282 of 2023, it was submitted by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor that there was no threat to the petitioner at the hands of the private respondents namely the third respondent in that matter. Hence, liberty was granted to the petitioner to approach the concerned authority, if any threat exists. 3.Now, it has been submitted that another representation is made on 07.10.2023, stating that on 30.09.2023 at about 09.00 a.m.
, when he was ploughing his field, the counter parties came there, picked up quarrel and prevented them from ploughing the land. Over which, on 30.09.2023 another complaint was given.

on 06.10.2023 at about 10.00 a.m., the counter parties trespassed into the property, damaged the motor pump set room, caused intimidation. Over which, the above said complaint has been given.
4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the above said complaint is pending. In view of the above said submissions, there shall be a direction to the respondent police to enquire the complaint lodged by the petitioner dated 07.10.2023, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, by summoning both the parties. Depending upon the outcome of the enquiry, the parties shall workout their remedy through appropriate proceedings.
