Judgment :- 1. The petitioner seeks writ of mandamus directing the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 1.8.2011 and to take appropriate action. 2. The petitioner is a resident of No.1/132, V.O.C. Street, Chithalapakkam, Chennai – 600 073 and he is said to have purchased the same in the year 1999. The grievance of the petitioner is that his neighbours Dhanapal and Elumalai are causing disturbance and that they are threatening the petitioner without any rhyme or reason. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have given a representation on 1.8.2011 seeking protection for his person as well as his property. Stating that the 2nd respondent has not taken any action on his representation, petitioner has filed this writ petition. 3. Heard Mr. R. Balachandran, learned counsel appearing for petitioner and Mrs. T.P. Savitha, learned Government Advocate appearing for respondents. The learned Government Advocate appearing for respondents has stated that the petitioner has not made out any specific allegations and in the absence of specific allegations, 2nd respondent cannot be faulted. 4.
