JUDGMENT
Dated this the 20th day of May, 2022 This writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs :-
"(i) Issue a writ of mandamus or such other writs, order or direction, directing the respondents 1 to 3 to provide adequate and effective police protection to the life of the petitioners from the fourth respondent as well as his henchmen.
(ii) Issue a writ of mandamus or such other writs, order or direction directing respondents 1 to 3 to provide adequate and effective police protection to open the office situated in Crown tower and to function fully without being in any way interdicted by respondent No.4."
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader. Though notice was taken out to the party respondent and has been duly served, there is no appearance for the said respondent.
Having considered the contentions advanced and in view of the interim order already granted, I am of the opinion that interest of justice will be served by directing that in case the petitioners face any threat to their peaceful life from the 4 th respondent or anybody claiming through him, the petitioners may approach the Station House Officer, who shall provide WP(C) NO.14836 OF 2022 -: 3 :- adequate protection to the life of the petitioners. All other issues are left open to be decided in appropriate proceedings.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
