¶2The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that, till date, the order of the 1st respondent dated 25.08.2025 to open the Tasmac Retail Vending Shop No.4495 in the property morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition is yet to be implemented. The petitioner is the owner of the aforesaid property. He also claims that he has succeeded in the auction to run an eatable shop in the said property. The order of the 1st respondent dated

25.08.2025 for shifting of the Tasmac shop to the petitioner's premises has also been placed on record along with this writ petition. The petitioner claims that due to the delay on the part of the respondents to implement the order of the 1st respondent dated 25.08.2025, the petitioner is suffering huge loss.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a direction may be issued to the police to give police protection to the respondents 2 and 3 enabling them to open the Tasmac shop in the petitioner's premises. Page3 of 4

¶5Accordingly, the respondents 2 and 3 are directed to open the subject Tasmac Shop, namely, Tasmac Retail Vending Shop No.4495 in the property morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition, based on the order passed by the 1st respondent dated 25.08.2025, and if required, seek police assistance and on a written request being given by the respondents 2 and 3 for police assistance, the concerned police shall give police protection to the respondents 2 and 3 to enable them to open the Tasmac shop in the premises of the petitioner morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition.
