Judgment 1. The petitioner contends that the petitioner and her son were attacked by deadly weapon and caused injuries by the accused. Therefore, the petitioner gave a complaint before the second respondent. Hence, the petitioner seeks police protection. 2. There is no appearance on behalf of the petitioner and heard the learned Government Advocate (Criminal side) appearing for the respondents. 3. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal side) appearing for the respondents would submit that a case was registered in Crime No.163 of 2014 under Sections 147, 148, 294(b), 336 and 435 IPC and Section 3(1) TNPPDL Act. 4. Since the F.I.R has already been registered based on the petitioner's complaint and the petitioner apprehends threat to the family members, it is appropriate to direct the respondents police to give police protection whenever required. 5. With the above direction, the Criminal Original Petition is ordered.
