They made a demand to include the said Valmiki (Boya) community in the Schedule of Tribes. The State Government has favourably recommended in their favour to the Union of India to include the said community in the Scheduled Tribe community. Now, it is their grievance that the Union of India did not take any decision to include the said caste in the Schedule of Tribes as per the recommendation made by the State Government. Therefore, they intend to make a protest by staging a dharna at Dharnachowk, Governorpet, Vijayawada Town, and make a protest in this regard. Therefore, they have submitted a representation, dated 11.08.2022, to the respondent police officials seeking permission to stage a dharna at Dharnachowk, Governorpet, Vijayawada Town, to make a protest in this regard. It is stated that no orders are passed on their representation till now granting permission to them to stage a dharna at Dharnachowk, Governorpet, Vijayawada Town.

It is finally stated that if they desire to conduct Satyagraha Deeksha for one or two days at Dharnachowk, that the same will be considered positively by imposing reasonable conditions. 7. Therefore, as orders are now passed on the representation submitted by the petitioner, it cannot be declared that there is any inaction on the part of the respondent police officials in considering the said representation. 8. As can be seen from the said order that was passed, the police did not reject permission to the petitioner to stage a dharna at Dharnachowk. While expressing some difficulties in granting permission for an indefinite period of time to stage dharna, they clearly stated that if the petitioner intends to launch any such Satyagrah Deeksha only for one or two days that the same would be considered positively by imposing reasonable conditions. The Court also finds considerable force in the said contention of the respondent police officials. The petitioner cannot stage a dharna for an indefinite period of time for days together and months together till their demand is fulfilled. 9. They can protest against the inaction on the part of the Government by staging a dharna for a definite period of time in a peaceful manner.
