Petitioner has approached this Court seeking the following reliefs: “(i) to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order directing respondents 1 and 2 to provide adequate police protection to the petitioner's unit by name “YES KEY PRODUCTIONS AND TRADERS”, Mayannur from the illegal obstruction of respondents 4 and 5 and their men, in doing loading and unloading works attached with the unit. (ii) to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ direction or order directing respondents 1 & 2 to dispose of Ext.P4 representation filed by the petitioner forthwith.” 2. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows: Petitioner is an unemployed youth. He has undergone training under the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) and obtained certificate. He availed loan from the Bank and started a hollow bricks manufacturing unit at Mayannur. Petitioner's unit is having 3 permanent workers for doing loading and unloading works and WPC 37521 of 2010 -2- they have already applied for registration. But, respondents 4 and 5 are obstructing the petitioner. 3. We heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. The mere fact that the petitioner had applied for registration would not mean that petitioner can carry on loading and unloading work without having registered workers. However, petitioner has also a prayer to direct the 3rd respondent to consider Ext.P3 series applications. In such circumstances, we direct the 3rd respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P3 series applications in accordance with law with notice to the affected parties as required in law as early as possible and at any rate within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent by the petitioner.
