Abbas, K.A vs. The Station House Officer
Held
The Court confirmed its interim order granting police protection to the petitioner and his attached headload workers. It directed the Assistant Labour Officer to conclude conciliation proceedings under Section 21 of the Kerala Headload Workers Act within two months, clarifying that the police protection order does not pre-determine the conciliation outcome.
Facts
The Managing Director of M/s. Imelt Extrusions Private Ltd sought police protection to enable his five attached headload workers to perform loading and unloading duties, alleging obstruction from headload worker unions. A related petition requested expedited conciliation proceedings under the Kerala Headload Workers Act.
Key Issues
Whether the petitioner is entitled to police protection for carrying out loading and unloading work using his own attached headload workers against obstruction by unions, and whether conciliation proceedings under the Kerala Headload Workers Act should be expedited.
