A.V. RAMAKRISHNA PILLAI, J.

1. The petitioner is aggrieved by the denial of registration of himself and other employees under Rule 26 (a) of the Kerala Head Load Workers Rules (for short, "the Rules") as per Ext. P2 order and Ext. P3 appeal. The petitioner alleges that he is running a parcel service, which is a branch of A1 Travels, Coimbatore. The said speed parcel service is functioning at A1 Travels, Room No. XI/446, CSI Mini Shopping Complex, Near Muthoot Group, Bakery Junction, Kottayam District. He has applied for registration of himself as well as other employees under Rule 26(a) of the Rules, which was denied as per Ext. P2 order. Ext. P3 appeal was also rejected. According to the petitioner, in the establishment of the petitioner, daily loading and unloading is necessary and if the registration is not granted immediately, the same would lead to untold hardship, irreparable injury and misery. Hence, this writ petition.

2. In the statement filed by the 2nd respondent, it is stated as follows;

"The petitioner has registered his name as an employer before the District Committee and has got registration as Reg. No. 1008/12. The petitioner's father was running the establishment for more than 2 decades and since that period, the head load workers of the area are doing the loading and unloading work for the establishment. The 3rd respondent, who is the registering authority, has conducted necessary enquiries upon the applications submitted by Sri. Alfred Thomas, Fareed Shalk, Sakkel S.K. Rubeeul S.K. and Larif Sheik and found that they are not working as head load workers in the establishment. Hence, the applications were rejected vide Ext. P2 order. In the appeal, the petitioner was heard by the 2nd respondent. The petitioner stated that he was facing much difficulties due to misconduct and indiscipline of the pool workers and hence, his own workers shall be got registered. The petitioner has produced copies of the register of employment and wages containing names and amount of wages in respect of 4 employees viz. Fareed Shaik, Sakkeel S.K., Rabeeul S.K. and Larif Sheik. The 2nd respondent pointed out that the Kerala Head Load Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Scheme, 1983 stipulates ample provisions under para 10, 11, 33, 34 & 35 to redress any grievance on the part of the employer being caused by the misconduct or indiscipline of the registered head load worker. According to the 2nd respondent, the petitioner has not taken any statutory remedial measures, but, striving to get rid of the registered head load workers. Hence, according to the 2nd respondent, the appeal was rejected in good faith. The scheme was implemented at Kottayam with effect from 10.09.1990. As per para 11 of the scheme, it is stated that after coming into force of this scheme for an area, no head load worker shall be employed or paid wages except in accordance with the provisions of the scheme. Hence, the 2nd respondent has taken the stand that the head load workers registered under the scheme have got a right for employment and to earn wages in accordance with the provisions of the scheme."

3. Arguments have been heard.

4. The petitioner has submitted an application for registration of himself as well as other employees under Rule 26(a) of the Rules. As the same was not considered, he approached this Court with WP(C) No. 24030/2014, which was disposed of by Ext. P1 judgment directing the respondents to consider the application within a time frame. Thereafter, the application was rejected by the 3rd respondent as per Ext. P2 stating that the petitioner is the owner and others are not working in the said establishment. Against that, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 2nd respondent, which also was dismissed as per Ext. P3. The petitioner relies on Ext. P4 judgment passed by this Court in WP(C) No. 14386/2014, by which, this Court granted police protection for loading and unloading in the petitioner's establishment. The petitioner
