¶5Mr. Lalit Miglani, learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 2, on instructions, makes a statement that the writ petition has become infructuous due to supervening event. He submits that reliefs, as claimed in prayer nos. I & II, do not survive, as Town Vending Committee of Dehradun-Mussoorie has been dissolved by Executive Officer of the concerned Nagar Palika and thereafter re-election was also held and election process has now been concluded.

¶6As regards to prayer no. III, Mr. Lalit Miglani, Advocate submits that after undertaking fresh exercise for identifying street vendors, licences have been issued to all the street vendors, therefore, prayer no. III do not survive.

¶7As regard to prayer no. 4, Mr. Miglani submits that a Vending Zone has been identified and all the Street Vendors, who have been granted licence, are permitted to sell their merchandise from that Vending Zone; thus he submits that all the grievances raised by petitioner have been redressed.

¶8The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of by taking the statement made by Mr. Lalit Miglani, learned counsel for respondent no. 2, on record. However, petitioner shall be at liberty to seek recall of this order, if any of the above statement is found to be incorrect.
