Thereafter, the second respondent, by way of notice bearing Rc.No165/2017/A4, dated 08.08.2017, asked the petitioner to submit shifting proposals of the said shop on the ground that there was a public agitation. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted a representation on 16.08.2017 to the second respondent, indicating the new premises i.e., slab house of M.Appala Raju, Market Road, near: Shivaji Statute, within Salur Municipality limits. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite submitting the said representation, no action has been taken by the second respondent. 3.
