4. Heard Mr.C.Prakasam, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.C.Raghavan, learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondents-State.
5. Mr.C.Prakasam, learned counsel contended that for the last several years, the petitioner has been conducting the Kabadi Tournament at Kandipalayam Village and there had not been any untoward incident so far, but, strangely, the second respondent has now denied permission.
6. On instructions, learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that in June 2018, there was a clash between the members of the Vanniyar Community and the Vettuva Gounder Community in connection with the administration of a temple and the situation is not conducive for conducting Kabadi Tournament. However, learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that the police are willing to grant permission to conduct the Kabadi Tournament at Vadakaraiathur, which is hardly 1 km. from Kandipalayam.
7. Recording the above submission, this Court directs the petitioner to give a fresh representation to the second respondent and on such representation being given, the second respondent shall grant permission to conduct the Kabadi Tournament at Vadakaraiathur and provide police protection to the organisers and players for conducting the Kabadi Tournament from 10.00 a.m. on 10.11.2018 to 10.00 p.m on 11.11.2018 (Saturday and Sunday) .
