Respondent No.7 is still interfering and harassing the petitioner. The petitioner has filed two representations (Annexures P-2 and P-3) but no action has been taken thereupon. Learned counsel also submits that the petitioner would be satisfied in case, directions are issued to respondents No.3 and 4 to take action on the representations and life and liberty of the petitioner be protected.

Keeping in view the limited prayer of the petitioner and without issuing notice of motion, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents No.3 and 4 to consider the representations (Annexures P-2 and P-3) and take necessary action in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.

In case, any threat or interference by respondent No.7 is found, the necessary protection be provided to the petitioner. Disposed of accordingly.
