Aju Sam vs. The Station House Officer
Held
The High Court made its interim order absolute, directing the removal of obstructions by respondents 4 and 5 and allowing the petitioners to carry out loading and unloading work through their permanent employees.
Facts
The petitioners sought police protection to conduct loading and unloading activities in their proprietary concerns using their own employees. Respondents 4 and 5 were obstructing these activities, while the Headload Workers Welfare Fund Board confirmed the area was not covered by any welfare scheme.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether the petitioners were entitled to police protection to ensure their right to use their own employees for loading and unloading activities without obstruction from external headload workers, especially in an area not covered by a welfare scheme.
