WP(C) NO.9410/2021 3 P.V.KUNHIKRISHNAN, J ------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.9410 of 2021 -------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of November 2021 JUDGMENT The above writ petition is filed with following prayers: “(i) To direct first and second respondent to take necessary steps to ensure that autorikshaws are not parked in front of the shop of petitioner by name and style “ERBAD JEWELLERY” at Kolathur Road, Pulamanthole Grama Panchayath, Malappuram District. (ii) To grant such other relief in favour of the petitioner as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit to grant on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.”
The petitioner is aggrieved by the illegal parking of autorikshaws in front of his Jewellery and blocking access to the shop building. Petitioner is the Managing partner of Jewellery by name “ERBAD JEWELLERY” at
WP(C) NO.9410/2021 4 Kolathur Road, Pulamanthole Grama Panchayath, Malappuram district. According to the petitioner, he is not in a position to run the business smoothly because of the illegal parking of autorikshaws in front of the petitioner's shop. Ext.P3 is the photographs produced along with the writ petition. As per Ext.P4, the grama panchayath informed under the Right to Information Act that there is no authorised auto stand in Pulamanthole- Kolathur road. The petitioner approached the 1st respondent to remove the obstruction of the autorikshaw drivers in front of the petitioner's shop building. Ext.P5 is the representation. Ext.P5(a) is the receipt showing that Ext.P5 representation is received. Even then there is no response.
Hence this writ petition is filed.
When this writ petition came up for consideration on 09.04.2021, this Court
WP(C) NO.9410/2021 5 issued notice to the respondents. Even though the notice is received and service is complete, there is no appearance for respondents 5 and 6. 4. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader.
The learned counsel for the petitioner reiterated his contentions in the writ petition. The learned Government Pleader submitted that the 3rd respondent is the authority to look into this matter and the 3rd respondent will take appropriate steps.
As evident by Ext.P4, there is no authorised auto stand at Pulamanthole– Kolathur road. Ext.P4 is dated 18.11.2019. There is nothing to show that, even after that date, any authorised auto stand is alloted at this place. The grievance of the
WP(C) NO.9410/2021 6 petitioner is that there is illegal auto parking in front of the petitioner's jewellery shop and that affect his business. In such circumstances, if there is no authorised auto stand in that place, it is the duty of the 1st and 2nd respondents to see that there is no illegal parking of autorikshaws in front of the petitioner's jewellery shop especially to obstruct ingress and egress to the shop. Therefore the respondents 1 and 2 will do the needful to see that the ingress and egress to the shop of the petitioner is not obstructed by autorikshaw parking. Therefore, this writ petition is allowed in the following manner: (i) Respondents 1 and 2 in consultation with the 3rd respondent will remove the illegal parking of autorikshaws in front of the petitioner's shop building
WP(C) NO.9410/2021 7 forthwith. (ii) If there is any authorised auto stand in that place, at least the ingress and the egress to the petitioner's shop building is to be cleared and respondents 1 and 2 should see that there is no parking in front of the petitioner's shop to obstruct the customers of the petitioner.
