TO JUDGE J.B.KOSHY & K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JJ. ------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO.27377 OF 2008 (H) ----------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T KOSHY,J. This is a petition for police protection. If there is any dispute regarding payment of Onam bonus or regularisation or any other claims, the remedy of the contesting respondents is to raise industrial disputes. It is submitted that already disputes are raised before the District Labour Officer. Whether the dispute is between the 1st respondent and respondents 2 to 9 or between the petitioner and the respondents, those matters have to be resolved according to law and not by threat. We are not expressing any opinion regarding the merits of the matter but law and order should be maintained by the Police and nobody can be allowed to take law into their hands. Therefore, without prejudice to the industrial disputes, if any raised, Police is directed to grant adequate protection for the smooth running of the petitioner's WPC.27377/08 2 establishment and Police is directed to see that law and order is maintained. With the above observations, this writ petition is disposed of. J.B.KOSHY, JUDGE K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE prp J.B.KOSHY & K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JJ. -------------------------------------------------------- M.F.A.NO.
