Learned Standing Counsel has obtained instructions in the matter. He submits that in respect of the three, which have not been auctioned, they are, according to the Municipality, in a dangerous condition and therefore, the Municipality has issued notice to the existing licensee to remove the hoardings and that he has filed his reply to the notice. It is stated that orders will be passed in the matter. According to the learned Standing Counsel, because of the pendency of these proceedings, these three hoardings have not been auctioned by the Municipality. It is also undertaken that if any hoardings is to be given, same will only be W.P.(C).8557/2010 2 after conducting auction. I feel that the submission thus made by the learned Standing Counsel will redress the grievance of the petitioner. Therefore, recording the aforesaid submission, the writ petition is closed.
