JUDGMENT

The petitioner is aggrieved as the 2nd respondent has not considered his request for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) favourably.

3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned DSGI appearing for the 2nd respondent and having perused Ext.P3 order of the Judicial First Class Magistrate – III, N.Paravur , this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to issue a Customized PCC to the petitioner also mentioning the details of the case mentioned in Ext.P3 order. The needful shall be done within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
