On 28.07.2010 learned Single Judge issued notice of writ petition as well as stay application and stayed operation of orders dated 23.07.2010 (Annexure 12 & 13) with direction to respondents to allow the petitioner to operate Akshay Kaleva Kendra, Surajpole Gate, Sikar. The respondent No.2 (appellant herein) was further directed to release the contribution amount @ Rs. 2/- per person on month to month basis regularly along-with the amount due. 3. Being aggrieved with aforesaid interim order, the Commissioner, Nagar Parishad, Sikar, has preferred present appeal. 4. Decision in present special appeal will also decide the point involved in writ petition, therefore, we deemed it appropriate to direct the registry to place the writ petition on board and that is why the writ petition is before us we decide both, special appeal and writ petition, together. 5. By orders dated 23.07.2010 (Annexure-12 and 13), impugned in writ petition, Akshay Kaleva Kendra, Surajpole Gate, Sikar, that was being run by writ petitioner/respondent no.1 herein, with permission of the Commissioner Nagar Parishad, Sikar, appellant herein, was directed to be closed down. 6.
5. By orders dated 23.07.2010 (Annexure-12 and 13), impugned in writ petition, Akshay Kaleva Kendra, Surajpole Gate, Sikar, that was being run by writ petitioner/respondent no.1 herein, with permission of the Commissioner Nagar Parishad, Sikar, appellant herein, was directed to be closed down. 6. The appellant has argued that writ petitioner/respondent No.1 filed contempt petition , as per direction of learned Single Judge, two places were offered to him to run Akshay Kaleva Kendra near bus stand railway station. Choice was ultimately zeroed down on old Chungi Naka which is situated only 50 meters away from railway station which was best suited for poor and needy for whom Akshay Kaleva Scheme was meant. The writ petitioner/respondent No.1, however, does not want to leave originally allotted premise where from he was removed because of reason that he was found misusing the area allotted to him to run Akshay Kaleva Kendra and made encroachment by fixing tin-shed on public way and was selling juice, cold drink, sweets, chat, tea etc. There was also complaint against writ petitioner/respondent No.1 of carrying gambling activities at the allotted place. The Commissioner has produced a site plan and photographs of places at Chungi Naka, which consists of a room measuring 20'x 9' and a veranda measuring 20' x 7', which have opening in front thereof. 7. Representatives of writ petitioner/ respondent no.1, who are present-in-person, have argued that places that are being offered by the appellant are not suitable to run Akshay Kaleva Kendra and instead they have sought some other alternative place from the appellant nearer to originally allotted place. In this connection, they have suggested certain sites to the appellant. It is then argued that the writ petitioner/respondent no.1 has not made encroachment from or around originally allotted place. All the article lying there have been seized by the appellant have not been returned so far and that their existed 'pucca' construction of water tank etc. They may be, therefore, allowed to run Akshay Kaleva Kendra at the originally allotted site. It is also argued that site of old Chungi Naka is not suitable because the same is being used to run a 'rain basera'. 8.
They may be, therefore, allowed to run Akshay Kaleva Kendra at the originally allotted site. It is also argued that site of old Chungi Naka is not suitable because the same is being used to run a 'rain basera'. 8. Representative of appellant submitted that now originally allotted site is not available with them inasmuch as the originally allotted site is not sufficient to serve the poorer and needy persons and in case petitioner/respondent No.1 is allowed to run Akshay Kaleva Kendra there, this would enable petitioner/respondent no.1 to again encroach upon the public land and run a commercial venture. 9. Upon hearing representatives of both parties and perusing impugned order dated 28.07.2010, we find that nature of complaint against writ petitioner/respondent no.1 was such which compelled the appellant herein to order for closure of Akshay Kaleva Kendra from the old site, cannot be said to be totally without reason. The learned Single Judge has virtually granted final relief to writ petitioner/respondent no.1 while granting interim relief. In the facts of present case, we are satisfied that ends of justice will be met if writ petitioner/respondent no.1 is allowed to run Akshay Kaleva Kendra at the site of old Chungi Naka, the place offered by the appellant situated near railway station as 'rain basera' has now been shifted to Rani Sati Road and the respondent no.1 would not be now able to run the Akshay Kaleva Kendra at this premise. 10. Writ petitioner/respondent no.1 is allowed for time being to run the Akshay Kaleva Kendra at the site of old Chungi Naka, Sikar. The appellant is directed to return to writ petitioner/respondent no.1 all the seized articles within a period of two weeks the writ petitioner/respondent no.1 would be entitled to shift/start running Akshay Kaleva Kendra from the said premise within a period of one month and run the same in terms of the Circular dated 11.05.2006 of the State Government. If he fails to start the Akshay Kaleva Kendra from the aforesaid alternative premise, the appellant herein shall be entitled to issue license for running the Akshay Kaleva Kendra to any other person in accordance with law. 11. The special appeal is accordingly disposed of.Since controversy that is involved in main writ petition is decided in the light of this order, therefore the writ petition also stands disposed of.Writ Petition Disposed of as Above. *******
