The petitioner, Daily Vendors Welfare Association, Jagtial, Karimnagar District, filed this writ petition inter alia contending that the respondents are trying to interfere with the activities of the members of the petitioner-Association with regard to selling vegetables at the market situated in Ward No.13, Near Tower Circle at Jagtial, Karimnagar District and threatening to evict them, without following due process of law. When the matter came up for consideration yesterday, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Municipality took time to get instructions in the matter. Today, the learned Standing Counsel, on instructions, submitted that the subject area is an open market place and any vendor can carry on his business. It is also submitted that the respondent-Municipality is not interfering with the activities of the members of the petitioner-Association with regard to selling vegetables in the open market, but as some of the vendors are raising certain structures in the subject land, the Municipality is objecting the same. However, at the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the members of the petitioner-Association are not raising any permanent structures in the subject land. Having regard to the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel, the writ petition is disposed of, at the admission stage, directing the respondent-Municipality not to interfere with the selling activities of the members of the petitioner-Association in the subject land. It is however made clear that if any of the members of the petitioner-Association are making any permanent structures in the subject land, the respondent-Municipality is at liberty to remove the same. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:13.10.2009 Note: Issue CC by tomorrow. (b/o) VGB
