JUDGMENT

(Delivered by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.) This appeal has been filed by the appellant challenging the order of the learned Single Judge, who, while upholding the rejection order passed on the request made by the appellant to have fasting for a day in a particular place on 30.06.2018, dismissed the writ petition.

2. Inasmuch as such a request sought for has already been rejected coupled with the right of the respondent to pass such an order when the request is made for a specific place, we do not find any error in the order passed by the learned Single Judge. However, the disposal of the appeal will not stand in the way of the appellant seeking to make a fresh request. As and when such a request is made, the respondent can consider it to have such fasting in an unobjectionable place taking into consideration the prevailing pandemic situation.

3. The writ appeal stands disposed of accordingly. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CO) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar ssm To The Commissioner of Police, Office of the Commissioner of Police, Vepery, Chennai - 600 007.
