JUDGMENT

Shaffique, J.

The petitioners have approached this Court seeking police protection alleging that petitioners' life and property are in danger on account of the illegal acts of respondents 3 to 11.

2. Learned counsel for respondents 3 to 11 submits that the writ petitioner himself was involved in several crimes and they are not threatening the petitioner in any manner. Though a crime has been registered, thereafter no untoward incident has happened. Having regard to the aforesaid factual circumstances, we close the Writ Petition reserving liberty to the petitioner to approach the police in the event any offence is committed or there is attempt to commit offence, in which event, police shall look into the matter and do the needful.

Ashok Bhushan, Chief Justice.

A.M. Shaffique, Judge.
