Ramachandran on 14.08.2017. He further submitted that on that day the petitioner and the organizers have proposed to offer welfare scheme to the general public.

Though the petitioner has appeared before the respondent Police in person on 07.08.2017 and gave a representation to grant permission and provide protection to the petitioner for conducting the function scheduled to be held on 14.08.2017, the respondent Police has not passed any orders so far and that therefore, the petitioner states that he has approached this Court for the relief prayed for in the Writ Petition. 4. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for respondents has serious objection with regard to the place in which the programme is organised. According to him, the area earmarked by the petitioner will cause hindrance to the public. Since the learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the place earmarked is sufficiently bigger in size and it is not likely to cause any hindrance to the public or traffic. The petitioner has also agreed that the respondent can put any reasonable restrictions for parking vehicles and conducting procession. In such a view of the matter, this Court is also of the view that the petitioner can be permitted to conduct the programme without hindrance to the public. 5.
