HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE FARJAND ALI
Order
31/05/2024
1. The petitioners have preferred this Writ Petition under under
Article 226 & 227 of the Constitution Of India for issuance of
necessary directions to the official respondents to provide
adequate security and protection to the petitioners on the ground
that they are facing grave threat of life and liberty at the hands of
private respondent Nos.4 to 9.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Article 21 of
the Constitution of India provides for right to life, limb and
personal liberty under the ambit of fundamental rights and any
threat to the same amounts to violation of the same. Being the
citizens of independent India, the petitioners have right to reside
with honour and dignity. Therefore, they have sought the
protection from the hands of private respondents and they also
sought direction to respondents to provide them protection.
3. After hearing learned counsel for the parties as well as
perusing the record of the case, since the petitioners apprehend
threat to their right of life and liberty, this Court is of the
considered view that the petitioners have every right to seek the
protection of their life, limb and liberty; and therefore persuade to
dispose of the present petition with the direction to the petitioners
to appear before the concerned Superintendent of Police along
with appropriate representation regarding their grievance. The
concerned Superintendent of Police shall in turn hear the
grievance of the petitioners, and after analyzing the threat

(3 of 3)
perceptions, if necessitated, may pass necessary orders to provide
adequate security and protection to the petitioners.
4. It is made clear that any observation in this order shall not
affect any criminal and civil proceedings initiated against the
petitioners.
5. Accordingly, the instant Writ Petition is disposed of.
