These six applicants who are clearly covered by our order dated 1-519971 cannot be disturbed from their present occupation at Pushpa Market, Opposite J Block, Behind Juneja Handloom, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi. 12. The stand taken by the respondent MCD in its affidavit-in-reply is totally misconceived as the reliance placed on the order of the Lt. Governor J dated 13-11-1996 cannot survive in view of our later order dated 1-5-19971 which protects them and provides that who might have been dispossessed from their respective places pursuant to the Lt. Governor's order should be put back in possession. 13. So long as the direction contained in the order dated 1-5-19971 is not modified in appropriate proceedings, the said direction must be obeyed. It is therefore directed that all these six applicants shall not be disturbed from their present respective places as directed earlier. Governor's order should be put back in possession. 13. So long as the direction contained in the order dated 1-5-19971 is not modified in appropriate proceedings, the said direction must be obeyed.

Whatever goods might have been removed by the authorities in the meantime shall be restored to the applicants concerned. It will also be open to the petitioners to file appropriate proceedings before the competent court for recovery of damages if any. 14. So far as Prayer (ii) is concerned, we reiterate that the respondent MCD will complete the verification as per our order dated 1-5-19971 in a connection with these applicants. IA stands disposed of accordingly. CP (C) No. 322 of 1998 15. Contempt petition is disposed of in terms of the signed order. 16. No. 269 in WP (C) No. 1699 of 1987 16. The prayers made in this IA by Janta Hawkers Welfare Association cannot be granted at this stage. So far as Prayer (a) is concerned, the interim orders passed from time to time will have to be complied with by all concerned. 17. So far as other prayers are concerned, it is not the stage at which any member of the petitioner association can feel aggrieved. As and when the appropriate stage is reached and when their grievance is not considered, the individual member may move for appropriate orders. In view of this observation and clarification, the IA is disposed of. IA. No. 271 in WP (C) No. 1699 of 1987 18.
