This is a petition for police protection. Petitioner is a resident of Kondotty in Malappuram District. He is having an autorickshaw bearing registration No.KL10 8947. According to him, autorickshaws are not allowed to park in the Airport area. The question with regard to parking of autorickshaws in the Airport area was already considered by a Single Judge of this Court by judgment dated 29.9.1995 in O.P.No.7158/1994. We fully agree with the above judgment and autorickshaw drivers have no right to demand the parking place inside the Airport. However as mentioned in Ext.R1 judgment, they can park outside the Airport area without creating any obstructions to the traffic. If parking areas are not allotted, petitioner can approach the R.T.O or the local authority for allotting parking places outside the Airport area without creating any W.P.(C).26876/2006 2 obstructions to the traffic inflow to Airport or public. If any such representation is filed, that should be considered by the concerned authority as expeditiously as possible. No other reliefs can be granted in this petition. With the above observations this writ petition is disposed of.
