[CRLW-361/2025]

facing grave threat of life and liberty at the hands of private respondents.

¶25

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.

¶26

After hearing learned counsel for the parties and 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 they have every right to seek the protection of their life, limb and liberty.

¶27

In this view of the matter, the instant criminal writ petition is allowed with a direction to the Superintendent of Police concerned that after analyzing the threat perceptions, he shall pass necessary orders to provide adequate security and protection to the petitioners and ensure that no harm shall be caused to the petitioners at the hands of the private respondents.

¶28

Stay petition also stands disposed of.
