that there is bunk shop in Ethiraj Salai Road, which according to the petitioner was allowed to be installed there, which was inaugurated by the former Minister of Law and Co-operation, without creating disturbances to the public and pedestrians. However, it has been sought to be removed and hence the petitioner filed a writ petition before the Apex Court. Pursuant to that, he has been asked to go before the Hawking Committee, which was constituted. Instead of approaching them, indirectly the petitioner has approached this Court and trying to stall the entire process and allowing the petitioner to continue in the the site cannot be permitted. The Supreme Court has already passed an order as early as on 18.09.1987, and if the petitioner's request has not been complied with, pursuant to the order of the Apex Court, the petitioner can file a petition before the Supreme Court against the respondents for committing contempt of Court. According to the petitioner, his representations have not been disposed of and he continues to run the shop without reference to the Hawking Committee. The pavement is made for public to walk. It is true that the persons who are educated are doing own business or run a shop to eke out their livelihood, and it does not mean that they should occupy the place continuously and later make a representation to the authorities that they have not been disturbed for a long time. The bunks in the pavement will certainly make the pedestrians to walk on the road and they have to face accident. Hence, the relief sought for by the petitioner cannot be granted. The petitioner shall appear before the Hawking Committee on 06.11.2017 or such other committee constituted for this purpose and once the petitioner approaches the committee, the representation shall be considered within one month from the date of appearance.
