1.  Approach the local Anti Corruption Bureau and lodge a formal complaint.  They will do rest of the modalities.

2.  The above is a permanent solution for all such harassment and intimidation by such corrupt officers.

Madras HC has held that police has no authority to ask shops and eateries to close down at night. The high court’s conclusion is significant especially because the State police has been, for decades, clamping down on activities of common man in public places during the night hours.

2) There is no rule or law that empowers police to ask a shopkeeper to close down in the night hours, let alone ordering a person to leave a public spot.

1. no such rule which stops you to open shop till late night,

2. make a complaint against such corrupt policeman in the vigilance department

3. if you are violating any rule, only concerned department will ask/notice you, police have no authority

Hi, if he restrains you can file a civil suit for injunction in court and can obtain a stay order 

Poluce do not have powers to call upon you to close your shop 

unless there is contrary judgment of Karnataka HC it would be applicable to Karnataka also 

Dear Sir,

Such situations are normal. Better you file a writ petition against the concerned police and get a restrain order. In several cases such orders were issued by the High Court under its discretion power under Art. 226 of Constitution of India.

If the municipal Corporation law prohibits you then you can't keep it open. You need to challenge the said law in hc.  Or you need to bribe.  The judgement of tamil nadu will have persuasive value and not binding effect in Karnataka

The decision passed on one high court does not have binding effect on another state.

It appears that the Police is asking for bride. 

So if you do not pay then the Police can not do anything.

In the meantime register under Shop and establishment act and seek necessary permission from the local Municipality to keep the shop open till late night. 

if you are doing night deliveries and its commercial then its better to take a NOC from local police station and muncipal office.

my suggestion is to first of all check whether you are having all the permissions from the competent authorities to run this business as per local laws or not.If you are satisfied that you got all the permissions required,then no need to hesitate to make a complaint  to the ACB department.Even you can make a complaint to the Commissioner level officer about this issue.They will take necessary action against the bribe taking police officer.All the best

If the police is asking bribe then you may get them trapped through DVAC  police.

However you must ascertain that if you have been granted licence to keep your shop open through out the night time  because this plays a vital role especially when you would like to get them trapped for asking bribe.

If you feel that you do not want to get entangled in any complication with the police owing to your long term business plans, you may decide to run the shop by bribing the police.

You may negotiate the amount accordingly by convincing them bout your hardships and difficulties to raise such a big amount every month.
