The building is quite old structure and had been built long ago. The same is found in occupied condition. It is also noted that there are five shops in the said premises, one of which is a jewellery shop and there is no visible sign of ongoing construction. The petitioner also owns a chicken meat shop. 5. Having heard the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties and noting from the materials on record that the petitioner also is carrying on business from a shop room and WPA 18663 of 2025 3 there appears to be no irregularity in the private respondent carrying on business and also noting that certificate of enlistment has been issued in favour of the private respondent by the municipal authorities, I am of the view there is no scope for this Court to pass any mandatory order in the writ petition. 6.
