The petitoner have preferred this petition for issuance of necessary directions to the official-respondents to provide adequate security and protection to her on the ground that (2 of 3) [CRLW-1412/2025] she is facing grave threat to her life and liberty at the hands of private respondent(s). 2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that seeking protection from the private respondents, the petitioner approached Notal Officer by way of filing different representastions on different dates. Counsel submits that in- spite of submission of the same, no orders have been passed hence under the compelling circumstances, the petitioner has approached this Court. 3. The Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Suman Meena vs. State of Rajasthan (S.B. Criminal Writ Petition No.792/2024) has issued certain guidelines for disposal of the representations seeking protection against the private respondents. 4. It is well settled legal position that the life and personal liberty of the individuals has to be protected except according to procedure established by law, as mandated by Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Further, as per Section 29 of the Rajasthan Police Act, 2007 every police officer is duty bound to protect the life and liberty of the citizens. 5. Considering the arguments put forward by the learned counsel for the petitioners and looking to the fact that the petitioners have already submitted appropriate representation/application seeking protection before the Nodal Officer, it is expected from the officers concerned to look into the matter in terms of the directions issued by this Court in the case of Suman Meena (supra) and decide the (3 of 3) [CRLW-1412/2025] representation submitted by the petitioner expeditiously as early as possible, preferably within a period of one month from today by passing a reasoned and speaking order and ensure that after analyzing the threat perceptions, if necessitated, may pass necessary orders to provide adequate security and protection to the petitioners. 6. It is made clear that any observation in this order shall not affect any criminal and civil proceeding initiated against the petitioners. 7. With the aforesaid observations, the instant criminal writ petition stands disposed of. The stay application and all pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J KuD/249
