Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were evicted from the shops by force without taking recourse to law. He submits that as per the notice for getting the shops vacated, respondents were required to take steps in terms of sections 4 and 7 of the Public Premises Act, 1971, which they did not do. Stand is taken in the counter affidavit - 2 - and the supplementary counter affidavit that the eviction has been effected in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in case legal steps were not taken to evict the petitioners, petitioners are entitled to damages and compensation. This Court thinks it appropriate that for any claim of compensation or damages, petitioner should approach the competent civil court, if they are advised. So far this case is concerned, it does not require any determination by this Court in writ jurisdiction. This writ application is disposed of accordingly. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
