This is a petition for police protection. We have granted an interim protection to remove lorry No.TN 28-Y 6163. In the counter affidavit filed by the contesting respondents at paragraph 6, it is stated that the matter was settled in view of the mediators. That is not specifically denied in the reply affidavit filed by the petitioner. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of leaving the labour disputes to be decided by the labour authorities. Meanwhile, the police is directed to see that law and order is maintained. If there is any problem, both employer and the workers are free to approach the labour authorities as provided under the Headload Workers Act and get appropriate orders. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. (J.B. Koshy, Judge.) (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
