JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner is the owner of the stage carriage KL-45/5011, operating on the route Thrissur - Guruvayur. He got the permit about one year back. The permit was granted in the vacancy of the vehicle KL-8/B 45, it is submitted. The 2nd respondent has threatened the petitioner, saying that the members of the said respondent will obstruct the running of the bus, if the workmen of the vehicle KL-8/B 45 are not engaged in his vehicle. Feeling aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation before the Superintendent of Police, Thrissur and thereafter, this writ petition is filed, seeking protection for the operation of his vehicle on the above route. 2. We heard the learned Government Pleader for the official respondent also. If respondents 2 to 4 have any claim for employment, they have to take recourse to the statutory forums to ventilate their grievances. If Wpc 25945/2007 2 there is any physical obstruction to the operation of the vehicle, the petitioner may alert the Station House Officer concerned and seek protection. In that case, we are sure, the said officer will take appropriate action in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.
