Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Delhi High Court (Hon'ble Ms. Justice Mini Pushkarna) disposed of, as satisfied, W.P.(C) 3439/2019 filed by Charan Kamal Singh & Anr., holders of Maxi Cab permits (allotted in 2017 for the Fountain, Chandni Chowk to Harsh Vihar route), who had sought directions against Phat-Phat Sewa operators allegedly illegally plying on and obstructing their permitted route, contrary to GNCTD Resolution No. 31/1999 dated 1st November, 1999 barring Phat-Phat Sewa Operators from Maxi Cab routes. In its reply, GNCTD stated that the petitioners' representation for change of route had already been granted, that Resolution No. 01/2022 fixed the approved Phat Phat Sewa routes (Khajuri to Fatehpuri Railway Station, Fatehpuri to Pant Hospital, Ajmeri Gate, Mori Gate to Chauhan Patti) and Resolution No. 02/2022 fixed the Maxi Cab routes (Anand Vihar to Old Delhi Railway Station and Anand Vihar to New Delhi Railway Station, via Dilshad Garden-Seelampur/Shahdara-Seelampur), so the disputed route no longer existed and there was no non-compliance with the order dated 01.11.1999. The court found the representation duly considered and Phat-Phat Sewa no longer plying on the petitioners' routes; with counsel confirming the petitioners' satisfaction, the writ petition and pending application were disposed of as satisfied.

transport. Respondent no. 1 in order to ensure that cheap and better transport services are available in the congested area of Delhi started allotting permits for Maxi Cabs. The petitioners were allotted several permits for plying Maxi Cabs from the route from Fountain (Chandni Chowk) to Harsh Vihar in the year 2017. However, the petitioners have not been able to carry out their trade and occupation due to misconduct and harassment being caused by the “Phat-Phat Sewa” Operators, who were illegally plying on the route allotted to the petitioners.

¶13

Petitioners made several representations to the respondents in this regard. However, no action was taken. Thus, the present writ petition came to be filed.

¶14

The respondent no. 1, i.e., Govt. of NCT of Delhi (“GNCTD”), has filed its reply, the relevant portion of which, is reproduced as under:

10. It is submitted that the representation of the petitioner for change in route has already been granted and hence petitioner cannot be said to be aggrieved as his grievance has been met .

¶17

11. Further as per Resolution No. 01/2022 the approved routes for Phat Phat Sewa are Khajuri to Fatehpuri Railway Station, Fatehpuri to Pant Hospital, Ajmeri Gate and Mori Gate to Chauhan Patti. As per Resolution No. 02/2022 the routes allotted to Maxi Cabs as Anand Vihar to Old Delhi Railway Station via Dilshad Garden-Seelampur and Anand Vihar to New Delhi Railway Station via Dilshad Garden-Shahdara-Seelampur .

¶18

Therefore, the grievance expressed in the petition that Phat Phat Sewa is overriding and encroaching upon Maxi Cab routes has become irrelevant as the disputed route no longer exists . In view of the above-stated facts, it is respectfully submitted that there is no noncompliance with the order dated 01.11.1999, and the present affidavit clarifies the issues raised before this Hon’ble Court.
