(b) Issue such other relief's as it deems fit to grant in favour of the petitioners by this Hon'ble Court in view of the facts and circumstances of the cases. in the interest of justice 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that vide Annexure-A dated 14.11.2022, the petitioner were called upon to vacate the premises in their occupation on the ground that the petitioner is carrying out commercial activities in the said premises. 3. Though learned counsel for the respondents would submit that the same has been issued in pursuance of the order - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:154 WP No. 23026 of 2022 dated 27.09.2022 in WP.No.9606/2020, what could be seen from the said order is that the Division Bench of this Court in the Public Interest Litigation has recorded the submission of the respondent-BBMP that action would be taken to remove all commercial activities from the residential area. If that be so, it would be for the official respondents to have issued appropriate notices, conduct proceedings as per the applicable law and thereafter, pass necessary orders. There is no particular order which has been passed in WP.No.9606/2020 insofar as the petitioner is concerned. 4. As such, in the above circumstances, I pass the following: ORDER i) Writ petition is allowed. ii) The order/notice dated 14.11.2022 issued by respondent No.2 is read down as a Show Cause notice granting liberty to the petitioner to reply to the same within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:154 WP No. 23026 of 2022 iii) Respondent No.2 is directed to consider the said reply of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with the applicable law. iv) Needless to say, until then the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the subject property.
