State of Punjab and others .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.KK Goel,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Petitioner, who is proprietor of M/s Roshan Lal and Company has approached this Court under section 482 Cr.PC for a direction to the police authorities for granting protection to his life and liberty on account of threats being extended by the members of the rival Truck Union-respondent nos. 4 to 7. It is submitted that M/s Roshan Lal and Company had been awarded a contract for a period of two years w.e.f. 9.11.2010 for loading and unloading foodgrains/wheat stock from the FCI godowns to different rail heads at Tehsil Ahmedgarh, District Sangrur. It is averred that local Truck Union being headed by respondent nos. 4 to 7 are not permitting the petitioner to carry out his functioning as the petitioner is not acceding to engage them on account of their higher rates and monopolistic attitude. It is thus contended that fundamental right of the petitioner to carry out his trade, as enshrined in Article 19 (1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution of India has been violated. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner would be satisfied if the SSP Sangrur-respondent no.3, before whom a representation dated 16.11.2010 (P-3A) was made is directed to take appropriate action thereon in accordance with law. After hearing the learned counsel,in my opinion, the present petition requires to be disposed of with a direction to SSP Sangrur to examine the petitioner's representation (P3-A) and upon consideration thereof to take necessary action in accordance with law. Ordered accordingly. Disposed of. 8.12.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
