JUDGMENT
The petitioner is a taxi driver operating in the premises of the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL). The petitioner was directed to produce a Police Clearance Certificate by the authorities of the CIAL. The petitioner has approached the first respondent for the Police Clearance Certificate in the format as required in Ext.P2. The petitioner contends that since he is involved in a crime, charge sheeted by the Police, the Police Authorities refused to issue the Police Clearance Certificate. If the petitioner is involved in a crime, a certificate has to be issued stating the nature of the offence in which the petitioner is involved. The Police Authorities cannot refuse to issue a certificate to the petitioner.
Therefore, there shall be a direction to the first respondent
WP(C) No.14967 of 2015 to intimate the details of the crime in which the petitioner is involved to the 2nd respondent, without any delay. Thereafter, the petitioner shall approach the second respondent, who shall issue the certificate showing all the details including the offence in which the petitioner is involved within ten days from the date of receipt of such application from the first respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
