P (C) No. 30716 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 23rd January, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by the vending of fish by persons on the side of a public road named Kovilkadavu road. In the writ petition, I passed the following order on 9-12-2008: “The learned counsel for the Panchayat submits that Panchayat has passed appropriate orders prohibiting fish vending by the side of the particular road and once in the presence of the local MLA all the fish vendors were removed. But, according to the Panchayat, the Panchayat cannot monitor the situation since the Panchayat is not in a position to know when these vendors would again do vending in the particular place and that effective steps can be taken to prevent the same only by police. The counsel also submits that the police has been approached in the matter. The Government Pleader shall get instructions from the 5th respondent as to whether the 5th respondent has sought any request for police help from the 2nd respondent and if the same has been received, why appropriate action has not been taken in the matter.” 2. The learned Government Pleader now submits that appropriate steps have been taken to prevent such unauthorsed fish vending by the Police. The petitioner also submits that for the past two days, there is no fish vending. In the above circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to all the respondents to see that no unauthorised fish vending is done by anybody in the area in question. Sd/- S.
