Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The petitioner says that he is the duly authorized contractor for collection of toll in relation to three bridges. He says that there is no police support given in spite of Ext.P2 communication by the Superintending Engineer to the Superintendent of Police. If the petitioner has a current licence and if in terms of the Rules that govern the toll collection, he is entitled to have support of police personnel, let the Superintendent of Police act upon any appropriate communication of Superintending Engineer and do the needful in accordance with WPC4010/11 -: 2 :- law. We would also indicate that the Superintending Engineer and the Superintendent of Police will ensure through appropriate instructions, the free flow of traffic through the toll gates in a safe manner by having the gates manned by sufficient number of personnel of the contractors since toll collection by itself should not result in hindrance to movement of traffic. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. P.S.Gopinathan, Judge. Sha/1002
