3.

In view of the above statement, the petitioner's grievance regarding holding of the survey as well as regarding issuance of certificate of vending, is addressed.

4.

The petitioner also prays that she may not be disturbed from carrying on her trade from the site, that is Opposite Shop No.88, Sarojini Nagar Market, Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi-11 0023.

5.

The learned counsel for the respondents states that there are large numbers of street vendors who are claiming that they are/were carrying on their trade in Sarojini Nagar Market.

However, the said market cannot sustain the number of persons who have approached this Court. The learned counsel submits that the actual survey will determine whether the petitioner can be permitted to carry on her trade at the aforesaid site in the Sarojini Nagar Market.

6.

In view of the above, we do not consider it apposite to pass any orders to the said effect.

7.

The petition is disposed of. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of.
