HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUBHAS MEHLA Present:- Mr. Aatul Goyal, Advocate with Ms. Arunima Saraf, Advocate for the petitioner. **** SUBHAS MEHLA , J. (Oral) 1.

Present petition has been filed under Articles 226/227 of Constitution of India, for issuance of a writ or direction to the official respondents to protect the life and liberty of the petitioner and her family members as she apprehends threat to the same at the hands of the private respondents.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that a civil dispute is pending between the petitioner and the private respondents over a land, and the private respondents are attempting to forcibly dispossess the petitioner therefrom. It is submitted that although the petitioner approached the concerned police station by way of a complaint, no action was taken against the private respondents; rather, the police officials allegedly threatened the petitioner and attempted to compel a compromise under threat. Learned counsel further submitted that the petitioner also submitted a representation dated 02.04.2026 (Annexure P-4) to respondent No. 2-Senior Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana, but no action has been taken thereupon till date.
