No. 21785 of 2008) Mr. Vikram Sharda, Advocate for respondent No.2 (In C.W.P. No. 21785 of 2008) T.S. Thakur, C.J. (Oral) The main grievance of the petitioners in these two petitions filed in public interest was against the proposed shifting of the Rehri Market from Phase 3b-1, Mohali to Sector 53/Phase 3A, Mohali. The petitioners alleged that the shifting of the market will make the lives of the people living in that Sector miserable. They also prayed for a direction to respondent No.3, Municipal Council, Mohali, to remove the garbage and dustbins from the shopping center. In response to notices issued by this Court, an affidavit has been filed by Mr.P.S. Kailay, PCS, Estate Officer, GMADA, to the effect that although at some stage, GMADA had demarcated some area in Phase 3A for temporary shifting of Rehri Market to the same but the said decision has been reversed on 26.5.2009 and it is now decided that the Rehri Market would not be shifted to Phase 3A, Mohali even on temporary basis. That statements on oath completely redress the grievance of the petitioners in so far as shifting of the Rehri Market is concerned. As regards removal of garbage and dustbins from the shopping center, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.3 submits, on instructions that the same have already been removed to the Garbage Collection Center. An affidavit to that effect has also been Civil Writ Petition No. 21785 of 2008 3 filed by Mr. Amna Kumar, Executive Officer, Municipal Council, Mohali. No further directions regarding that aspect, therefore, need to be given. The only other aspect which learned counsel for the petitioners highlighted in the course of their submissions was that certain private buses and three wheelers are being parked in the parking area meant for shops-cum-flats and booths. This is a matter which, in our opinion, can be looked into by the authorities concerned if petitioners make a representation to them. In the circumstances and for the reasons stated above, these petitions no longer survive for any further consideration and are hereby disposed of. No costs.
