W.P.No.26397 of 2017
KRISHNAN RAMASAMY, J.
Both the Writ Petitions are filed seeking for a writ, forbearing the respondent-Police from interfering or disturbing with the day-today affairs of the petitioner-Club, insofar as W.P.No.27246 of 2017 is concerned and Recreational activities so far as W.P.No.26397 of 2017 is concerned.
2. The contention of the petitioners is that, they are scrupulously following rules and regulations, therefore, interference of the respondent-Police is not at all warranted, however, the respondent-Police, under the pretext that, complaints are being received against certain members for the alleged involvement of playing rummy cards to punt off money, is frequently entering into the premises of the petitioner-Club and interfering with the Club activities, which is creating panic amongst the others members, those, who are engaging in other recreational activities. Hence, the present Writ Petitions are filed, seeking appropriate direction.
3. When the matters are taken up for hearing on the last occasion, thelearned Government Advocate for the respondent-Police was directed to verify whether interference of the Police could be stopped in the day-today affairs of the club activities of the petitioner, unless and otherwise, the same is required in accordance with law.
4. Today, when the matter is taken up, the learned Government Advocate for the respondent-Police submitted that the respondent-Police are not often interfering with the day-to-day affairs of the petitioner-Club, only, any complaint is received against any members of the petitioner-Club stating that they are indulging in playing Rummy Cards to punt off money, the respondent-Police used to enter into the premises of the Petitioner-Club for taking legal action, and in the absence of any complaint, there is no necessity for the Police to enter the club.
5. Refuting such contention, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that, except few members, who are alleged to have been involved in playing Cards, most of the members are visiting the Club only for recreational purpose, and if the respondent-Police is entering into the petitionerClub for taking action against few of them, the other members, who are regularly visiting the Club are under fear and disturbance, as the presence of the Police in the Club would certainly cause scuffle between the members of the petitioner-Club and the Police.
6. In view of the above, this Court, in order to give quietus to the said issue, which is also being faced by other Clubs/recreational centres functioning throughout the State of Tamil Nadu, and to strike a balance between the Club and the Police, suggests, as to why cannot a CCTV camera be installed at the facade of the petitioner-Club, or at the entrance of the Club, or otherwise, as decided by the petitioner-Club, without affecting privacy of the Club members, so that, in case, the respondent-Police intends to inspect the Club/Recreational Centre based on any complaint received against any members, on account of their involvement in such immoral activities, can very well take action against them, by monitoring through the CCTV Camera installed at the entrance itself, without, they being entering into the premises of the Petitioner-Club, so that the other members, who are regularly visiting the Club shall not be put to panic or disturbance. By adopting such course, both the immoral or illegal activities, if any, takes place in the Clubs could be deducted and prevented and the relationship between the Police and Club members would also not get affected.
7. Therefore, this Court, so as to find out whether the suggestion putforth by this Court, could be implemented and to find out whether there is any implications involved in implementing such option, is indispensably in need of the assistance of Director General of Police, for which purpose, this Court suo moto impleads the Deputy General of Police, Dr.Radhakrishnan Salai Road, Mylapore, Chennai – 600 004, as one of the party respondent to the proceedings, who shall file a concrete report with regard to the suggestion putforth herein, based on which, this Court would pass appropriate orders in the Writ Petitions filed before this Court, which would also apply to all other Club/Recreational centre functioning in the State of Tamil Nadu.
8. Mr.K.M.D.Muhilan, learned Government Advocate, accepts notice on behalf of the Director General of Police, and the learned Government Advocate is directed to give appropriate instructions to the Director General of Police, who shall file the report as sought for by this Court on the next hearing date.
Office is directed to carry out necessary amendment in the causetitle and post the matter on 15.12.2021.
