YUNUSSALIM, S/O P C AHAMMEDKUTTY Vs. ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF POLICE; CIRCLE INSPECTOR OF POLICE; KOZHIKODE DISTRICT HEAD LOAD WORKERS AND ASSISTANT LABOUR OFFICER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The Petitioner runs business in marble slabs, granite slabs, ceramic tiles etc. The Petitioner had occasion to come to this Court earlier and by Ext. P1 judgment, police protection was afforded to the Petitioner. We extract the contents of the said judgment below.

(2.) The Petitioner has now been compelled to come to this Court again. According to the Petitioner, the ingress and egress of vehicles to the Petitioner's establishment is being obstructed on the convenient and specious plea that the above order does not prohibit obstruction to such ingress and egress by vehicles. The short prayer of the Petitioner is that it may be clarified that the Petitioner shall be entitled to have protection for the free ingress and egress of vehicles.

(3.) All the Respondents in this writ petition were Respondents in Ext. P1 proceedings also. All Respondents are served. There is no appearance for Respondent No. 4. We are satisfied that to be reasonable the clarification sought has to be granted, as without access for vehicles into and out of the Petitioner's premises, police protection granted for loading and unloading vehicles would become illusory. The learned Government Pleader only submits that no specific complaint was received by the police that there was any obstruction for vehicular access to the Petitioner's premises.
