Abdu Haji vs. Sub Inspector Of Police
Held
The Court directed the District Geologist to expeditiously conclude the ongoing proceedings regarding illegal quarrying within three months after hearing all parties. It also ordered the police to provide protection to the petitioner if there is an apprehension of danger and to take stringent action if any criminal offense related to illegal quarrying without a license or permit is made out.
Facts
A senior citizen filed a writ petition alleging illegal quarrying by private respondents and seeking police protection due to apprehension of danger. Initial reports from government authorities denied illegal quarrying, but subsequent inquiries by the Taluk Legal Services Committee, Vigilance & Anti Corruption Bureau, and Deputy Superintendent of Police confirmed ongoing illegal quarrying activities and an invalid explosive license.
Key Issues
Whether the private respondents were conducting illegal quarrying operations without proper licenses and permits, and whether the petitioner was entitled to police protection and investigation into the alleged illegal activities.
