CRM-M-10558-2024 #2# has to campaign for the BJP candidates as parliament elections are on the anvil. Petitioner and his family is facing continuous threat at the hands known gangsters and anti social elements. Therefore security of the petitioner and his family be enhanced as there are only 3 security men deployed in total whereas the requirement is more. Petitioner being spokes person and office bearers of BJP often criticizes working of present regime in the State hence his securfity is being curtailed, without without any reason without informing him despite the threat to his life at the hands of known gangsters. Petitioner and his family be provided security of Central armed Force in addition to the security provided by respondent No.6 which is often curtailed without assigning any reason and is not enough.
Hence petitioner and his family be provided Central Forces security for their safety in addition to the security provided by respondent No.6.” Having failed to establish his case by substantiating that there is any threat perception as of now and realizing that this petition has been filed directly before this Court without even representing the competent Authority for examination of threat perception, if any exist in the light of the aforesaid para 9 & 10 of the petition apart from the pleadings being vague with no iota of material to show the mode of threat and who extended the threat to the petitioner, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for withdrawal of the petition with liberty to take all the remedial measures if so warrants, as per law. Prayer is accepted. Dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty. ( SANDEEP MOUDGIL ) JUDGE 16.01.2025 manoj
