1. This petition has been filed, seeking a direction to the 1st and 2nd respondents to give Police Protection to the petitioner, Rt. Rev. Dr. H.A. Martin and office bearers of TELC on 28.11.2015 and two months thereafter at Tranquebar House, Trichy-1 to avoid untoward incidents.

2. The case of the petitioner in nutshell is as follows:-

(i) The petitioner has submitted that he is an Advocate and appointed as Legal Adviser of Tamil Evangelical Lutheran Church (in short TELC) by Rt. Rev. Dr. H.A. Martin, Bishop TELC. It is submitted that though Rt. Rev. Dr. H.A. Martin, Bishop TELC has been elected legally, Mr. E.D. Charles causes hindrance to the smooth administration in respect of Churches, Schools, Colleges and other related offices all over Tamil Nadu and as per the bylaw, Rt. Rev. Dr. H.A. Martin, Bishop TELC is the competent authority to run and govern TELC.

(ii) The petitioner has further submitted that the 3rd respondent, by calling himself as a self styled Secretary, is trying to grab the lands of TELC by way of parallel functioning against the present lawfully elected Rt. Rev. Dr. H.A. Martin, Bishop TELC. The 3rd respondent had already stolen away the land documents of TELC and fraudulently sold the properties in the name of Secretary of TELC and as on date, there are nine FIRs pending against him for having disposed of the lands of TELC to the tune of Rs.250 lakhs.

(iii) It is the submission of the petitioner that the petitioner made a complaint against the 3rd respondent on 20.08.2015 before the respondent and no action has been taken thereon. Instead, the respondent, at the instigation of the 3rd respondent, started foisting false cases against TELC Church and Rt. Rev. Dr. H.A. Martin, Bishop TELC and in this regard, the petitioner filed a complaint seeking disciplinary action against the 2nd respondent before this Court in W.P. (MD) No. 20440 of 2015, which is pending till now.

(iv) It is the further submission of the petitioner that the respondent, with an intention to take over the Central Office, TELC has been trying to create bad reputation to the TELC Church in the General Body meeting scheduled to be conducted on 28.11.2015 and if it is permitted to convene the meeting at Tranquebar House, Trichy, there will be a clash with the office bearers of TELC, which forced the petitioner to represent to the Home Secretary as also other Higher Authorities for suitable action. Since there was no response, the petitioner has knocked at the doors of this Court, seeking the relief stated supra.

Charles and his henchmen and registered a case in Crime No. 789 of 2014.

(ii) It is further stated that the petitioner originally had given a complaint against the 3rd respondent and other persons, including a retired Judge, for which CSR No. 234 of 2015 was issued to the petitioner and thereafter, a summon was also issued to him to appear before the Inspector of Police, Palakkarai Police Station, Trichy City. However, the petitioner neither attended the enquiry held on 08.09.2015 nor produced any documents in support of his contentions made in the complaint. Thereafter, another summon under Section 91 Cr. P.C. was issued to the petitioner to attend the hearing on 11.10.2015 in the Palakkarai Police Station, Trichy. Even the petitioner has not attended any enquiry and did not care to send any reply.
