Ms. Borana further submits that there is a reasonable apprehension in the mind of the petitioner and her family members that the caste panches of the community are likely to take any coercive action against the petitioner and her family members, and 2 therefore, appropriate directions are required to be issued to the State authorities to provide them adequate protection against the apprehended atrocious action of the panches.
