This is a petition for police protection for cutting and removing of rubber trees. For cutting of rubber trees, petitioner is free to engage his own workers as Headload Worker's Act is not applicable for the same. For the removal of the rubber trees, police should see that adequate protection is given for removing the same without any delay by the registered Headload workers in the area. If they refuse to do the work due to inter union rivalry or demanding of more amount than that was notified, necessary protection should be given by police to remove the goods by engaging his own workers. With the above observations this writ petition is disposed of. Issue copy today itself. J.B.KOSHY,JUDGE T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE prp W.P.(C).No./2007 2 W.P.(C).No./2007 3 J.B.
