Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge. For the petitioner(s): Mr. Ranjan Sharma, Advocate.. For the Respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, A.G., with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy.A.G. for the State. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sanjay Karol, J. (Oral) Essentially, it is the petitioners’ grievance that they have been running their establishments within the campus of the college over a considerable period of time. They want some accommodation within the campus itself, from where they can carry on their business. They have suggested some alternate sites where they can be conveniently accommodated. It is also brought to our notice that even the retail outlet set up by the Civil Supplies Corporation of the State, for sale of medicines is likely to be closed. This in our view is likely to cause lot of inconvenience to the general public. The nearest shop of medicines as is so stated would then be at Kangra which is at a distance of 4 Kms. As per the respondents, notice of eviction stands issued to the petitioners for the reasons that a new building has to be constructed. 2. It is not in dispute that petitioners’ representations are pending before respondent No.1. Hence, as prayed for, without adverting to the contentions raised in the present petitions, a direction is issued to respondent No.1 to look into the grievances and consider the petitioners’ representations in accordance with law. It be ensured that at least one shop for retail of medicines by the State, is made available within the Hospital premises. Decision be positively taken within a period of four weeks from the date of production of the copy of this judgment by the petitioners. 3 The Petitions stands disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice (Justice Sanjay Karol) Judge September 26, 2011 (priti)
