No. 2793 Of 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 25th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a trolley retriever at the Thiruvananthapuram airport. For getting the Daily Permit every year the petitioner has to produce a conduct certificate from the Police authorities within the limits of whom he resides. The petitioner approached the 1st respondent- Sub Inspector of Police, Valiyathura Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram for a conduct certificate for renewal of his permit. The 1st respondent issued a conduct certificate dated 27.9.07 mentioning one criminal case which was filed against him by his wife under Section 498A Cr.P.C and which was numbered as C.C.No.103/2007 before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Thiruvananthapuram. Subsequently, the matter was settled between the petitioner and his wife and the criminal case was quashed by this Court and the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Thiruvananthapuram closed the said case. 2. According to the petitioner, last year while he was working, the 2nd respondent Sub Inspector of CISF, Air Security Unit, Thiruvananthapuram had filed a complaint against the W.P.C.No.2793 of 2007 2 petitioner to the effect that he was indulging in the activity of forcibly handing over extra luggages to some passengers for monitory benefits. That petition was recorded in the Valiyathura Police Station as Petition No.219/Petn/VTPS. The petitioner would have it that if an enquiry is conducted, 1st respondent would be convinced that the aforesaid allegation against the petitioner is baseless. But for the last six months, the said petition is pending before the 1st respondent and on account of Ext.P2 certificate, he has not been permitted to be engaged in the airport as a trolley retriever. The petitioner will get his employment only if the above cloud on his character is cleared. Hence this writ petition. 3. The 1st respondent-Sub Inspector of Police, Valiyathura Police Station shall complete the enquiry, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, and in case it is found that there is no substance in the petition filed by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent shall issue the necessary certificate, which might enable the petitioner to secure employment in the airport as a trolley retriever.
