CRWP No.9449 of 2020 ..2..

A perusal of said representation/legal notice (Annexure P-5) reveals that besides the prayer for providing security cover to the petitioner and to protect his life and liberty, a prayer has also been made therein to investigate the matter thoroughly and to book the culprits at the earliest. However, learned counsel for the petitioner restricts his prayer to the issuance of a direction to respondent No.3-Senior Superintendent of Police, Chandigarh to take appropriate action on Annexure P-5 only to the extent of the said prayer for providing security cover to the petitioner and protecting his life and liberty. Learned counsel for the U.T. Chandigarh has no objection in giving the direction, restricted to the afore-discussed prayer, to respondent No.3.

Keeping in view the above-discussed facts and circumstances, the present petition is hereby disposed of with a limited direction to respondent No.3-Senior Superintendent of Police, Chandigarh to look into the legal notice/representation (Annexure P-5) so far as it pertains to the prayer made therein for providing adequate security cover to the petitioner and to protect his life and liberty only and if the said request of the petitioner is found to be genuine one, then to take appropriate action, in accordance with law. (MEENAKSHI I. MEHTA) JUDGE 16.11.2020.
