Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader.
2.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking for a direction to respondents 1 to 4 to provide adequate and sufficient protection to the life, property and staff of the petitioners' hospital, Carmel Hospital, Thirumuppam, Varappuzha to enable them to run the hospital smoothly. Both the petitioners claim to be the doctors and they narrated an incident, which happened on 6.8.2015, in which, one of the patients died. Petitioners' case is that after the said incident, obstructions have been caused by various organisations by conducting 'dharnas' and putting hoardings in the vicinity of the hospital. 3.
Learned Government Pleader on instructions would submit that apart from the obstruction on 6.8.2015, no further incident has been reported. It is submitted that the police authorities are patrolling the site and a crime was also registered on the statement of the relatives of the deceased patient.
W.P.(C) No.26228 of 2015 -: 2 :- 4.
Be that as it may, since the police authorities are patrolling the site, we do not see any reason to issue any further direction. However, we only observe that if in any event, any obstruction is caused in running the hospital, it shall be open for the petitioners to submit a complaint before respondents 3 and 4, who shall look into the same and take appropriate action in the matter.
With the above observation, this writ petition is closed. Sd/- ASHOK BHUSHAN CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- A.M. SHAFFIQUE J UDGE Jvt
