4. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are permitting conduct of political meetings inside the Nanilam Bus Stand and the same is causing undue hardship and inconvenience to the general public, more specifically to aged persons and school children, as the buses are stopped far away from the bus stand. It is stated that in this regard the petitioner has already sent a representation to the first respondent on 28.11.2016, but no action has been taken based on the same till date. Hence, the present writ petition.
