This is a petition for police protection. Counsel for the 4th respondent submitted that with regard to denial of employment industrial dispute is pending. Petitioner employer is also bound to attend the conciliation proceedings. However unions or workers cannot take law into their hands. Therefore police is directed to keep law and order in tact and see that work of the establishment is not disturbed by granting adequate protection. Police protection is granted without prejudice to the right of the workers and unions in the industrial disputes provided the petitioner also participates in the labour conferences. With the above observations this writ petition is disposed of. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE prp W.P.(C).No./2007 2 W.P.(C).No./2007 3 J.B.
