SRI.K.B.MOHANDAS,SC,THRISSUR CORPORATIO SRI.LELLULAL T.G.THUNDATHIL FOR R THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMAN, AG. C.J. & C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... Writ Appeal No.272 of 2010 .................................................................... Dated this the 1st day of March, 2010. JUDGMENT Raman, Ag. C.J. Hawkers of the Trichur Municipality approached this court by filing Writ Petition seeking for a direction to the Municipality for their rehabilitation. The Municipality pursuant to the orders of this court in W.P.(C) No.33414/2005 considered and rejected their claim. Challenge was mainly against the order so passed. The learned Single Judge held that the petitioners have no legal enforceable right and their request to be considered on compassionate ground cannot be granted by this court. Hence this appeal. 2. Learned counsel Sri.P.B.Sahasranaman appearing on behalf of the appellants submitted that though they may not have any preferential right, all the same when Municipality is allotting shop rooms or land as the case may be, hawkers may not be barred from being considered on par with others. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Municipality rightly submits that whenever allotment of shop rooms in 2 the Municipality is auctioned, it is open to the appellants also to submit tenders and their claim will also be considered along with others in accordance with law. The same is recorded. Writ Appeal is disposed of as above. P.R.RAMAN Acting Chief Justice C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
