The petitioner wants police protection for conducting his small scale industrial unit by name A.S.Traders (Chitin Unit) near Fish Landing Centre, Punnapra. The petitioner applied for a licence from the panchayat. The panchayat requested Coastal Zone Management Authority to give them consent to grant licence to the petitioner, as the industry is situated very near to the sea. It is true that the petitioner has obtained consent from the Pollution Control Board. It is also submitted that the neighbouring people have no objection in conducting the industry. If the work is obstructed, the employees will lose the job. Respondents 3 to 5 have no manner of right to raise any dispute. 2. The police is directed to maintain law and order. The petitioner may approach the Coastal Zone Management Authority to give consent to the W.P.(C).No.160 of 2009 :: 2 :: panchayat to grant licence to the petitioner. If the petitioner gets licence, the police will see that no obstruction is caused by respondents 3 to 5. With this direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (J.B.
