2.

We take note of the principal grievance which is directed against one Angad Singh, who is stated to have removed the petitioner from the place where he was carrying on his vending activities. 3.

We, however, note that Angad Singh had approached this Court in Angad Singh vs. New Delhi Municipal Council & Anr. [W.P.(C) 4806/2024 dated 26 April 2024] and where the following directions came to be issued:

"3.

In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of by directing that the petitioner shall not be interdicted from carrying on vending activities at the site near Shop No. 25, Sarojini Nagar Market, New Delhi, subject to the petitioner carrying on the vending activities in accordance with law (including by occupying an area not more than 6‟ X 4‟ and open to the sky). 4.

We clarify that this arrangement would only continue till the survey is completed and a vending plan is prepared." 4.

In view of the aforesaid and till such time as that order stands, it would not be possible for this Court to consider granting the reliefs which are prayed for.

5.

Accordingly, while we dismiss this writ petition, we accord liberty to the writ petitioners to seek appropriate remedies in case they seek to question the direction in paragraph no. 3 as contained in our order of 26 April 2024.
