IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16020 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 08, 2010. Jail Road Shopkeepers Association .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.P.S.Khurana, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner-Association is aggrieved by the demolition of the projections and foot-steps constructed by its members-Shop Keepers for entering into their shops. The above-said demolition derive has been carried out by the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana in compliance to the directions issued by a Division Bench of this Court vide order dated 4.10.2008 passed in Civil Writ Petition No.4886 of 2003 (Court on its own motion versus State of Punjab and another) (Annexure P-4). The petitioner-Association, however, claims that no encroachment has been made by its members as the projections etc. were duly sanctioned. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that the question as to whether or not the projections/ C.W.P.No .16020 of 2010 2 foot-steps constructed by the Shopkeepers in Jail Road Market, cause any obstruction in free flow of the traffic and general public, is a question of fact to be gone into by the Municipal-Authorities only. Since the petitioner-Association is said to have made a representation before the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana-respondent No.3 to look into the afore-stated aspect and take an appropriate decision which must essentially be in consonance with the directions already issued by the Division Bench of this Court in Court on its own motion's case (supra).
