Nadda, Additional Advocate General, for the respondent-State. Cr.MP No. 2569 of 2026 Learned counsel for the non-applicant/ petitioner submitted that she does not want police protection at this stage and her only request is that if any incident is reported to the police, the police should visit the house of the non-applicant/petitioner and she should not be compelled to visit the Police Station. This request of the non-applicant/petitioner is genuine. Learned Additional Advocate General for the applicant-State has not opposed this prayer. Hence, the present application is allowed and the direction of police protection dated 20.12.2024 provided to the non-applicant/petitioner shall be withdrawn, however, in case of any incident or request of the non-applicant/petitioner, the police shall visit the house of the non-applicant/petitioner and shall not compel her to visit the Police Station. In the meantime, the non-applicant/petitioner is at liberty to approach this Court in case of change of any situation. Application stands disposed of.
