Kerala HC17 Mar 2015WP(C)/1230/2015

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

Petitioner, a Diploma in Ayurveda holder, filed a writ petition seeking police protection alleging obstruction by the sixth respondent at his clinic. The Court observed that counter-affidavits indicated pending cases against the petitioner and no specific threat was established, leading to an informed refusal of the relief sought.

What did the court decide?

The prayer for police protection is dismissed as the petitioner has not substantiated a threat and pending criminal cases indicate the matter requires trial.

¶60

Petitioner, claiming to be a Diploma holder in Ayurveda (B.A.M) and a recognised medical practitioner, has approached this Court seeking police protection. It is inter alia contended that the 6^th respondent along with certain persons are creating obstructions in the functioning of his clinic. Though he has given complaints to the police, so far no action has been taken in the matter.

¶61

Counter affidavit has been filed by the 6^th respondent inter alia stating that the petitioner is advertising treatment for cerebral palsy and is receiving huge amounts as fee from patients. Several cases had been registered against the petitioner which are pending trial. According to the 6^th respondent, he has only helped certain persons in ventilating their grievance with regard to the

¶62

W.P.C.No.1230/2015

¶63

¶64

allegations made against the petitioner and that he has not physically obstructed the petitioner in any manner.

¶65

The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, would submit that the police had registered certain cases against the petitioner which is pending consideration. No threat, as alleged, has been made by any person.

¶66

Having regard to the aforesaid submissions, we do

¶67

not think that it is a case in which an order, as prayed for, can be granted. If any offence is committed or there is any attempt to commit offence, it is always open for the petitioner to file necessary complaint before the police who shall look into the matter and take appropriate action, in accordance with law.

¶68

With these observations, this writ petition is disposed of.
