the legal activities of the club. It is the contention of the petitioner that the respondent police have threatened to close down the club. The learned APP states that the police authorities have not passed any order either written or oral for closing down the club till today nor given any threats to do the same. In view of the statement made by the learned APP this Writ Petition deserves to be allowed. 4 It is directed that the police authorities shall not interfere with the lawful activities of the petitioner-club.
