Naveen Mathew Philip vs. State Of Kerala
Held
The Court noted an existing interim order from 2020 directing police to prevent obstruction of the petitioner's business activities. As the private respondents did not appear, the Court allowed the petition, directing the police (Respondents 3-5) to take adequate measures based on the interim order if any future threats arise.
Facts
The petitioner, operating a stone crushing unit, sought police protection against obstruction by a Tipper Owners, Drivers Welfare Association (Respondents 6 & 7). These respondents insisted the petitioner sell products at pre-revised lower rates and obstructed vehicles transporting raw materials and finished products.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether the petitioner was entitled to police protection to ensure the smooth operation of his stone crushing unit against unlawful obstruction by a welfare association.
