(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) The petitioners claim protection for their bunk shops, but the counter-affidavit of the respondent Corporation suggests that the bunk shops were erected on the road margin / foot path margin and were causing hindrance to the free flow of pedestrian walk, especially as it is situated near his busiest place and other commercial establishments.
2.We may note the grievance of a Complex Association, in front of which a bunk shop has been made by the petitioner in W.P.No.35790 of 2015, that the bunk shop is obstructing the entrance to the complex and the said petitioner has set up four bunk shops and not one.
