Fearing for life and liberty at the hands of the private respondents, the pe��oner, invoking the fundamental right of life guaranteed under Ar�cle 21 of the Cons�tu�on of India, has come up before this Court seeking protec�on through the State.

¶16

Thus, in the facts and circumstances peculiar to this case, it shall be appropriate that the concerned Superintendent of Police, SHO, or any officer to whom such powers have been delegated or have been authorized in this regard, provide appropriate protec�on to the pe��oner for one week from today. However, if the pe��oner no longer requires the protec�on, then at his request, it may be discon�nued even before the expiry of one week. A�er that, the concerned officers shall extend the protec�on on day-to-day analysis of the ground reali�es or upon the oral or wri�en request of the pe��oner.

This restric�on saves the pe��oner from apprehended risk and ensures that the protec�on is not flaunted.
