Archa Unni vs. Commissioner Of Police
Held
The Court noted that the rival exhibition had ceased, rendering the petitioner's immediate grievance moot. However, it directed that if any future obstruction occurs to the petitioner's licensed exhibition, she may approach the Station House Officer, who shall consider the complaint and take appropriate action.
Facts
The petitioner, engaged in conducting exhibitions, sought police intervention against alleged obstruction by a rival exhibition operator at Alappuzha Beach. Complaining of police inaction, she filed a writ petition. During the proceedings, it was noted that the rival's license had expired, and they had vacated the area.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was the petitioner's right to conduct her business without obstruction and the police's duty to provide protection against such interference, particularly when a rival business was allegedly causing the obstruction.
