The Court has heard ld. Counsel for the Petitioner and Ms. Puja S. Kalra, ld. Standing Counsel for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

¶26

The question of issuance of revised CoV to the Petitioner is dependent upon the Town Vending Committee, NDMC- II (hereinafter, ‘TVC-II’) . However, since the TVC- II is yet to arrive at a decision for the Petitioner and considering his locomotor disability, as also the photographs showing the vend, it is directed that the Petitioner shall not be disturbed from his present vending position opposite to Milli Model School, Abul Fazal Enclave-I, Jamia Nagar, Okhla, New Delhi-110025.
