M.Kanniappan vs The Government Of Tamil Nadu on 17 June, 2019

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the BSNL Employees Union wanted to conduct a seminar on 17.06.2019 at 4.00 p.m. to oppose the US interventions in Venezuela, against the democratically elected government of that country. The petitioner has also booked hall with YMCA by paying the necessary charges. All of a sudden, YMCA has informed the petitioner that the jurisdictional http://www.judis.nic.in police is objecting to the meeting and that the meeting cannot be permitted without getting permission from the concerned police. In such circumstances the YMCA, Madras cancelled the permission and also wanted to refund the amount paid towards rent by the petitioner.

8. From the letter submitted before this Court which has been addressed by the YMCA towards the BSNL Employee Association dated 17.06.2019, it is seen that the YMCA has cancelled the booking and has offered to refund the advance amount. If such a decision is already taken by the YMCA, this Court cannot pass any orders without affording an opportunity to YMCA, Madras. However, if the petitioner is in a position to impress upon YMCA, Madras to permit the conduct of the meeting/seminar, it is for the YMCA, Madras to take decision in that regard. The petitioner has undertaken that there will be no law and order problem and the entire seminar will be conducted in a peaceful manner. This undertaking is recorded.

9. This Writ petition is disposed of by giving liberty to approach the YMCA, Madras to permit them to conduct the meeting/seminar by giving written http://www.judis.nic.in undertaking that the meeting will be conducted in a peaceful manner without any law and order problem. It is made clear that, if there is any law and order problem created during the meeting/seminar, the petitioner and the BSNL Employees Association will take the entire responsibility for the same. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No Costs.
