Learned Government Pleader appears for respondents 1, 2 and the additional respondent. Notice to the third respondent dispensed with, preserving its right for re-hearing of the matter, if aggrieved by the order being issued hereunder. The petitioner states that he vends vegetables and fruits from a shop inside the panchayat bus stand shopping complex at Wadakanchery. The said complex is stated to be owned by the third respondent. The petitioner pleads that the activities in the bus stand come to a stand still and traffic problems arise when public meetings are held inside the bus stand and shopping complex premises frequently, including by spreading chairs. This is a matter which has to be managed to obtain the optimum utility of a public point like a bus stand. May be that the bus WPC.27486/09 Page numbers stand is the proper place for communicating and propagating one's ideas and also for transmitting information. But it cannot be at the peril of the free movement of the traffic or in a manner affecting the activities of the persons who run the shops in the shopping complex. Under such circumstances, the District Collector, who also is the District Magistrate, is directed to look into the grievance of the petitioner on his filing a proper representation before that authority and issue orders, if any found necessary, for the management of the issues. This writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.5/10.
