ORDER
This Writ Petition has been filed challenging the impugned order passed by the 2nd respondent in Na.Ka.No.15/F2PS/KBK/2026, dated 02.11.2026, and seeking a consequential direction to the 2nd respondent to grant permission and adequate police protection to conduct a public meeting on 12.11.2026 at 4.00 p.m. near Ambukovil Mukkam, Karambakudi Taluk, Pudukkottai District, by considering the petitioner's representation dated 30.10.2026.
2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had submitted a representation dated 30.10.2026 seeking permission to conduct a public meeting on 12.11.2026. However, the 2nd respondent, without properly considering the petitioner's request, had passed the impugned order dated 02.11.2026, rejecting the same. Hence, the petitioner has approached this Court challenging the said order.
3. Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondents submitted that the impugned order was passed after due enquiry. He further submitted that an FIR has been registered against the petitioner as well as the rival parties in connection __________
