5. Mr. Lalit Miglani,
learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 2, on instructions, makes a statement that the writ petition has become infructuous due to supervening event. He submits that reliefs, as claimed in prayer nos.

6. As regards to prayer no. III, Mr. Lalit Miglani, Advocate submits that after undertaking fresh exercise for identifying street vendors, licences have been issued to all the street vendors, therefore, prayer no. III do not survive.
7. As regard to prayer no. 4, Mr. Miglani submits that a Vending Zone has been identified and all the Street Vendors, who have been granted licence, are permitted to sell their merchandise from that Vending Zone; thus he submits that all the grievances raised by petitioner have been redressed.

disposed of by taking the statement made by Mr. Lalit Miglani, learned counsel for respondent no. 2, on record. However, petitioner shall be at liberty to seek recall of this order, if any of the above statement is found to be incorrect.
