THE petitioner has come to this Court with this petition seeking issue of directions under Article 226 of the constitution to respondents 1 to 5 to afford protection to the petitioner and his assets against illegal, contumacious, wanton and violent acts of respondents 6 and 7 who are none other than his own married sons.

(2.) ACCORDING to the petitioner, he had given education and everything requisite in life for respondents 6 and 7and they are well educated. They are married. The mother of respondents 6 and 7, i.e. the wife of the petitioner expired on 2.1.2010. The petitioner as well as respondents 6 and 7 are employed abroad. After the death of his wife, they had all returned their place of employment. The petitioner allegedly came back and he was quickly followed by his sons, respondents 6 and 7. ACCORDING to the petitioner, his sons- respondents 6 and 7 are illegally demanding that he must assign some of his properties to them. He is not willing to abide by their demands. He is willing to act fairly and justly. But the demands of respondents 6 and 7 cannot be accepted as such. As the petitioner is not yielding to the demands of respondents 6 and 7, they are threatening and indulging in contumacious and violent conduct against the petitioner.

(3.) THE learned Government Pleader, after taking instructions, submits that in the perception of respondents 1 to 5, there is no existing threat against the life or person of the petitioner. If there be any such threat and if genuine complaints are received, the police officials/respondents shall take necessary action to deter such threats/violence.
