ORDER 1. The applicants are eligible squatters. They have filed this application, praying that they may not be obstructed from carrying on their business at Lal Mandir, New Lajpat Rai Market, Delhi till final allotment of alternative site is made. Learned counsel for Municipal Corporation of Delhi submits that this is a non-squatting area. When this is a non-squatting area, neither temporary arrangement nor permanent arrangement can be made. 2. The applicants are therefore given two weeks' time to vacate from the place where they are presently squatting and in the meantime if it is not c possible to make any final allotment of alternative site according to their seniority, MCD will make a temporary provision in a non-prohibited squatting area till regular final allotment is made. As and when the said temporary space in the non-prohibited squatting area is allotted, the applicants will be obliged to move to that place without any contention that the same is not suitable or is not a lucrative area for their business. 3. The IA is disposed of. Court Masters.
