PER COURT :- 1] Shri Waramma, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that in so far as host of the grievances are concerned, the same have been redressed. It is submitted that the only grievance which still exists is that, the respondent MSRTC and the police authorities are not permitting the auto rickshaws to come from the Main Entrance gate upto the entrance of the Bus Terminus. 2] Mr. Tambe, learned AGP and Mr. Bagul, learned counsel for the MSRTC, state that the auto rickshaws would be permitted to enter up to the entrance of the bus terminus only if they are occupied by either the senior citizens or physically challenged persons.

From the map, it can be seen that the distance from the compound gate till the entrance is only 150 feet. In that view of the matter, we do not find that the stand taken by the respondents in not permitting all the auto rickshaws is unreasonable or unjustified. 4] In that view of the matter, petition is disposed of by accepting the statement of respondent MSRTC and the State, that the auto rickshaws would be permitted up to the entrance of the terminus, if they are occupied by senior citizens and physically challenged persons. We are aware that the police authorities and the State authorities would not be inhuman. In deserving case, i.e. in case the auto rickshaws are occupied by ailing persons or women in advanced stage of pregnancy, it is expected that the authorities would permit those auto rickshaws as well, to come up to the entrance of the Terminus.
