The petitioner has come forward with this Writ Petition to direct the respondent to give protection to conduct the petitioner HBN's Affected People Association Branch Meeting to be held on 15.12.2017 at about 10.00 a.m to 04.00 p.m at Nagarathar Mandapam, Puduvayal, Sivagangai District.

2.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that there is a company called as HBN Dairies and Allied Limited Company, which has its office at No.303, Varthman chamber, 3rd floor, Sonia Complex, Vikaspuri, New Delhi-110018. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that the said company had collected huge deposits from the general public with the assurance that the deposit amount will be returned after its maturity. It is alleged that the money collected by the said company would cross more than thousand five hundred crores. The members of the petitioner association have deposited their amounts in the said company. Since the members of the petitioner association were defrauded by the said company, the petitioner apprehend that this meeting of the members of the association to discuss the issue about the modalities for getting back the money from the company will be thwarted. In such circumstances, the petitioner association seeks police protection to its members for the meeting scheduled to be held on 15.12.2017. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
