The court acknowledges the petitioners' right to seek protection and future assistance from law enforcement in situations of perceived threat.

JUDGMENT

The petitioners are husband and wife. The third respondent herein is stated to be the brother of the 1^st petitioner. The petitioners contended that the 3^rd respondent has attempted to commit murder of the petitioners and their family on many occasions. Stating thus, the petitioners have already approached the 1^st and 2^nd respondents, by filing Ext.P3 complaint.

2. Heard Sri.P.Shamsudin, learned counsel for the petitioners Sri.N.B. Sunil Nath, learned Government Pleader for respondents 1 and 2, and Sri.Navaneeth N. Nath, learned counsel for the 3^rd respondent herein.

3. While admitting the writ petition on 10.03.2023, this Court had only issued notice to the 3^rd respondent herein, directing the learned Government Pleader to get instructions.

4. The learned Government Pleader, on the basis of the instructions received by him, states that, as of now, there is no threat from the side of the 3^rd respondent herein to the petitioners herein. The afore submission made by the learned Government Pleader is recorded.

In the light of the above, this writ petition would stand disposed of. However, the petitioners would be entitled to approach the 2^nd respondent herein if necessity arises in the future.
