¶17

The criminal writ petition has been preferred by the petitioners under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking direction for being provided with adequate security and protection.

¶18

The petitioner fears threat at the hands of private respondents who are allegedly land grabbers and threatened to kill the petitioner and his family members. A representation was

[2023:RJ-JD:37736]

[CRLW-1638/2023]

(2 of 2)

submitted by the petitioner to the policy authority with his concerns requesting for security of his family members.

¶23

The petitioner allegedly approached the Superintendent of Police, Pali with a prayer to be provided with adequate protection but no heed has been paid to the request so far.

¶24

The representation submitted by the petitioner has been brought on record. Thus, taking cue from the judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Lata Singh Vs. State of U.P. Reported in AIR 2006 SC 2522, the prayer made by the petitioner for directing the S.P., Pali to provide protection to the petitioner deserves to be accepted.

¶25

The Superintendent of Police, Pali shall have the matter enquired into and if so required, appropriate protection shall be provided to the petitioner and his family members as and when warranted. The S.P. Pali shall ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioner and his family member.

¶26

The criminal writ petition is accordingly disposed of.

¶27

A copy of this order be sent to the respondents forthwith.
