% 07.08.2018 Petitioner claims to be squatting at Dewan Hall Road, More Sarai Road, Delhi. Fear of dispossession at the hands of the officials of the respondent had led to the filing of the present writ petition. Counsel for the petitioner submits that since the election of the first Town Vending Committee (TVC) was conducted on 15.07.2018 and the TVC is likely to be formed shortly, he would approach the TVC with all supporting documents as and when it is functional, however, in case the petitioner is not found vending at the site, that may not be a ground alone to reject his case.

Counsel for the respondent, without admitting any of the averments made in the writ petition, has no objection.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:- (i) The petitioner will approach the TVC as and when it is functional with all supporting documents; and

(ii) The TVC will consider the case of the petitioner in accordance with law and merely because the petitioner is not found vending at the site at the time of survey, that by itself would not be a ground alone to reject his case.

We make it clear that we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case.

The writ petition stands disposed of.
