Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The writ petitioners are brothers. They are dealers in rubber and hill produce. They claim police protection on the premise that certain local labour forces are obstructing their activities. They also want direction to the appropriate authority to consider issuing identity cards under the Kerala Headload Workers Act to persons who, the petitioners say, are their workers. With the passage of time, it is pointed out that the petitioners' request for issuance of identity cards has been rejected by the statutory authority and that such matter is gaining WPC35612/09 -: 2 :- attention in different judicial proceedings. With the aforesaid, the petitioners cannot have any continued grievance. Having regard to the orders which are passed in this case, we further direct that the police authority will take up the law and order situation and deal with it appropriately and provide appropriate protection to those who may require it in any situation. The writ petition is ordered accordingly leaving open all other issues. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. S.S.Satheesachandran, Judge. Sha/
