PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 11890 OF 2008 M ==================== Dated this the 9th day of April, 2008 J U D G M E N T The prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to allot combined harvesters. Petitioners are also seeking a direction to the 4th respondent to transport the combined harvesters to Kuttanad for making it available to the petitioners. 2. It is seen from Ext.P4 letter issued by the 3rd respondent to the 4th respondent that police support was sought for by the owners of the combined harvester No.1286, 1374, 2199 to convey it to the petitioners for harvesting the paddy fields. According to the respondents, this was insisted on account of the fact that the owners of the harvesters could not transport the same in view of certain obstructions. 3. Learned Government Pleader has today made available before me a copy of Ext.P4 with the endorsement of the District Collector forwarding the same to the Superintendent of Police, Pathanamthitta and Deputy Superintendent of Police, Thiruvalla for necessary action. This evidently means that the 4th respondent has directed that police support be given for transporting the combined harvestors mentioned in Ext.P4. WPC 11890/08 :2 : 4. In view of this, this writ petition is disposed of directing that it will be open to the petitioners to approach the Superintendent of Police, Pathanamthitta with a copy of this judgment and thereupon the Superintendent of Police, Pathanamthitta will render necessary police support in order to enable the owners of the combined harvestors mentioned in Ext.P4 dated 28/3/2008 to transport the same to the petitioners padasekharam for harvesting the crops. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
