The present criminal original petition has been filed to direct the respondent police to register the petitioner's complaint dated 07.01.2016 and investigate the same in accordance with law.

One P.Poomalai is the license holder of the Tasmac bar. The owner of the shop Mr. G.Justin has let out the shop for Tasmac on a monthly rent of Rs.10,000/-. But, after tenancy, the said Justin and his family members have collected daily rent of Rs.8,000/- and it was increased from time to time. On 06.01.2016, the said Justin and 6 other rowdy elements came to the bar and demanded the enhanced rent of Rs.15,000/- per day.
