Respondent Ms. Sapna Mordekar, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. A. F. Diniz, Advocate for respondent No.1. Ms. W. Coutinho, Government Advocate for respondent No.2. Coram:- P. B. MAJMUDAR & U. D. SALVI, JJ. Date:- 24th February, 2009 P.C. On 12th January, 2009, this Court passed the following order : "Affidavit in reply filed on behalf of the respondent is taken on record. Learned Counsel for the Corporation states that notices have been issued in connection with 19 gadas and 15 gadas have been removed in execution of such notices. Two have already complied with the notices and one person has filed an appeal and another gada owner has asked for time to comply with the notice. He submitted that regarding 42 gadas, action will be taken after compliance of the notice and report submitted to the Court by next date." 2. Mr. Diniz submitted that all gadas which are subject-matter of this petition have been removed and a report dated 18/2/2009 to that effect has been placed on record. Learned Advocate Shri Diniz submitted that all the footpaths in the City of Panaji are cleared and no vendor is now available on the footpath. However, the learned Counsel for the petitioners vehemently submitted that some more gadas/handcarts are still operating in some parts of the city. She submitted that unless hawking/non-hawing zones are notified, no vendors should be allowed to sell his/her articles even in gadas/handcarts. So far as this aspect of the matter is concerned, the Corporation may consider whether any hawking/non-hawking zones can be created. If any gadas/handcarts are found to be without any licence or they are encroaching upon the public roads, streets, footpaths, etc., the Corporation to act in accordance with law, and take action within a period 3 months from today. 3. Since the gadas/handcarts have been cleared as per orders of this Court, it is not necessary to keep the petition pending. However, we direct the Corporation-Respondent No.1 to act in accordance with law, in case any illegal encroachment by way putting up gadas/handcarts is found by it and remove the same within a period of 3 months from today. Subject to what is stated above, the writ petition is disposed off. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. U. D. SALVI, J. ssm.
