1. Mr. Vachaspati Pandey, learned advocate holding the brief appears on behalf of petitioner and submits, his client requires security. She is holding public position of being chairman of the nagar panchayat. She had applied for security. The district level committee rejected her application, against which she preferred appeal to the regional level committee. The regional level committee has referred the matter to the State level committee. 2. On query Mr. Pandey relies on paragraphs 17 to 19 in the writ petition carrying statements of her threat perception. Paragraphs 17 and 18 are reproduced below. "17. That, the petitioner submits that the State government has issued a Government order dated 09.05.2014 in which it is stated in clause 10 that the persons who is the member of the Parishad are entitled to security cover either without any expenditure or 10% personal expenditure but the respondent authority are not complied the government order dated 09.05.2014. 18. That, the petitioner being a elected representative is working for welfare of the Nagar Panchayat an due to this reason the several persons against whom the petitioner are taking action and they feels enmity from the petitioner and the life of the petitioner and her husband are in danger 24x7, therefore it is humble prayed to this Hon'ble court to provide the security cover to the petitioner."
3. The administration and those who are entrusted to conduct it, includes provision for providing security on perceived threat perceptions against the
administrative posts. It appears, such provision does not include post of chairman, nagar panchayat. Petitioner is seeking security obviously as a special case.
