JUDGMENT
These writ petitions are connected and therefore, I
am disposing of these writ petitions by a common judgment.
2. The petitioners in these writ petitions are
aggrieved by unauthorised parking of autorickshaws in front
of their shops. Both sides submitted that the representation
of the petitioners are now pending before the Traffic
Regulatory Committee. If that is the case, there can be a
direction to the Traffic Regulatory Committee to consider the
same, with notice to the petitioners and the other affected
parties, within a time frame.
Therefore, these writ petitions are disposed of with
the following directions :
2025:KER:78865
1) The 6th respondent in WP(C) No. 31035 of 2023 is
directed to consider Ext.P1 representation with notice to
the petitioner in W.P.(C.) No. 7792/2021 and other
affected parties, if any as expeditiously as possible, at
any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a
certified copy of this judgment.
