JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner is running a wire-cut brick manufacturing unit. Raw materials for the unit are brought in tipper lorries and unloaded. The respondents 3 to 6 claim “nokku coolie” (wages for watching the work) for the unloading of raw materials using tipper lorries. So, she moved the police, seeking necessary protection to do the unloading work using tipper lorries, by filing Ext.P3 representation. Since no protection was granted by the police, this writ petition was filed, seeking appropriate reliefs. 2. This Court on 25.9.2006 passed an interim order to give protection to the petitioner, provided she is using tipper lorries to do the loading/unloading work and no manual labour is required for the same. Having regard to the facts of the case, if raw materials are unloaded in the premises of the industrial unit of the petitioner using tipper lorries and if any obstruction is caused to the same by respondents 3 to 6, she may WPC 25124/2006 2 inform the 1st respondent. In that event, the said respondent shall remove the obstruction. This direction will apply only for unloading of raw materials using mechanical devices fitted to the tipper lorries and not for manual unloading. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
