JUDGMENT

The petitioner is aggrieved as the 4th respondent has not considered his request for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) favourably.

2. The learned DSGI appearing for the 4th respondent would submit that the petitioner is involved in a criminal case and therefore, only a Customised PCC can be issued, and that too only on orders from this Court.

3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned DSGI appearing for the 4th respondent and having perused Ext.P2 order of the Assistant Sessions Court, Kollam, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent to issue a Customized PCC to the petitioner also mentioning the details of the case mentioned in Ext.P2 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.
