It is directed that on submission of such blueprint by the petitioner, the District Sports Authority will scrutinize the same and only after giving its clearance, the respondents police will be directed to provide protection. However, there is no such blueprint has placed before this Court or before the District Sports Authority, instead the petitioner has submitted an application to the District Sports Authority, however, the petitioner in fact, submitted the application not before the District Sports Authority but before the Thanjavur District Amateur Kabaddi Association.
