The court directed the Traffic Regulatory Committee to conclusively address public space concerns raised by the petitioners, ensuring timely resolution.

JUDGMENT

This writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs:

“i. Issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, direction or order directing Respondents 1 to 5 to immediately remove and relocate the unauthorized autorickshaw stand presently operating on the side/front of Akhila Building, Pangod.

ii. Issue a Writ of Mandamus directing Respondents 1 and 2 to provide adequate police protection to the Petitioners, their businesses, and to the Panchayat officials while carrying out any action to enforce the relocation of the said unauthorized auto stand.

iii. Direct Respondents 1 to 5 to take legal action against the unauthorized occupation and obstruction of public space by the autorickshaw drivers operating under the influence of Respondents 6 to 7.

iv. Pass any other order or direction that this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interests of justice.

v Issue such other writs, orders or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper to issue in the facts and circumstances of the case.”

[SIC]

2. The grievance of the petitioners is that there is illegal parking in front of the petitioners commercial building. A perusal of Exts.P3 and P3A would show that the matter is pending before the Traffic Regulatory Committee. If that is the case, I am of the considered opinion that this writ petition need not be retained here, and there can be a direction to the Traffic Regulatory Committee to conclude the proceedings, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and other affected parties.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:

i) The additional 8^th respondent will consider the grievance of the petitioners, after giving sufficient opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and other affected parties, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
