ORDER

¶21

After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents, this writ petition is disposed of at the time of admission by recording the undertaking given by the learned counsel for the respondents that appropriate Government orders will be issued for waiving rental dues for a period between 01.06.2021 and 01.09.2021 i.e., 90 days. The petitioner appears to be in arrears for a total period of 210 days.

¶22

Considering the fact that the members of the petitioner were small time vendors who have been allotted space in the beach for 25 square feet each, the impugned recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance subject to the members of the petitioner, pay the rental balance amount for a period other than 01.06.2021 to 01.09.2021, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. The balance amount can be waived or recovered subject to appropriate Government orders issued, considering the hardship faced by the members of the petitioner due to lockdown restrictions/closure of shops. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
