The petitioner approached this court seeking police protection for carrying out the licensed quarrying. It is the case of the petitioner that the loading and unloading activities is fully machanised. If that be so, there cannot be any obstruction on the part of respondents 4 to 6 or their henchmen. 2. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of making it clear that in case any additional man power is required for the headload work, the same shall be offered to the members of the union who are registered under the Headload Workers' Scheme. Subject to the above, there will be a direction to the police to render necessary protection to the petitioner to carry out the quarrying operations, as licensed.
