Learned counsel further submits that if any accident occurs, then it would cause danger to life of the patients as well as the staff of the aforesaid hospital. He further submits that since the parking space has been occupied by the hospital management, the petitioner was compelled to park her scooter in front of one shop and when she returned from the hospital, she found that seat cover of her scooter was damaged.
