The petitioner states that he, aged around 66 years, had been vending vegetables near Irinjalakuda Bus stand. He says that there was an occurrence which led to the registration of a crime, since another vegetable merchant poured poison on the vegetables kept by the petitioner for sale. He says that thereafter, the petitioner's time for sale was confined to be from 5 pm to 8 pm, however that later on, harassment continues and ultimately, the petitioner had to move this court to get his application for licence considered. He says that as of now, because of his age, he is unable to carry on his business on a push cart and wants to be permitted to sell vegetables from a point near the bus stand. He intends to make hay while the sun shines, having in view the onam season. 3.
