The disposal of a writ petition does not prevent a petitioner from making additional requests for accommodation, which must be considered in accordance with law.

JUDGMENT

Dated this the 24^th day of February, 2026 Above writ petition is filed seeking to quash Exts.P4 and P6, wherein proceedings were initiated by the respondent Panchayat to remove encroachment into the property of the Panchayat.

2. When the matter came up for consideration on

19.11.2025, this Court directed the petitioner to submit a representation before the 2^nd respondent and directed the 2^nd respondent to take a decision on the matter, taking into consideration the submission made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been running the milma booth for almost 35 years.

3. The learned Counsel for the 2^nd respondent submits that a decision has been taken, and submits that the request cannot be considered since there is no vacant place available to accommodate the petitioner.

In view of the above, nothing survives in this writ petition, and accordingly the same is closed. It is made clear that the disposal of the writ petition will not stand in the way of the petitioner making necessary request before the additional 4^th respondent for a suitable accommodation, and if filed, the same shall be considered and disposed of by the additional 4^th respondent in accordance with law.
