Antony G K vs. Station House Officer
Held
The Court confirmed its interim order, directing the police to provide adequate and effective protection to the petitioners and their employees. It explicitly stated that no one should be allowed to breach peace or take law into their own hands, while preserving any legal remedies available to the 4th respondent.
Facts
The petitioners, operating a warehouse, sought police protection for their loading and unloading activities, asserting that the Kerala Headload Workers Scheme, 1983, was not implemented in their area and they utilized their own skilled workers. They alleged obstruction from the 4th respondent and others, prompting a request for police intervention.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether the petitioners were entitled to police protection for their loading and unloading operations at their warehouse against alleged obstruction, particularly in light of the applicability of the Kerala Headload Workers Scheme and their use of private workers.
