2.Mr.D.Muruganandam, learned Additional Government Pleader, has taken notice for the respondent.
3.It is seen from the impugned order that the respondent has stated that since various communities will be assembled for hearing Innisai Katcheri, law and order problem would arise. Only under the said circumstances, the respondent has rejected the permission sought by the petitioner.
4.The reason given by the respondent for rejecting the permission is not genuine and therefore the impugned order dated 14.02.2017 is liable to be quashed.
5.In fine, this writ petition is allowed without costs and the order dated 14.02.2017 is quashed. However the respondent is directed to reconsider the representation dated 14.02.2017 alleged to have been given by the petitioner and pass suitable order within a period of two days.
