Thus, feeling aggrieved, petitioner has approached this Court. 4. A perusal of the impugned order indicates that several opportunities were given to the petitioner to produce evidence in support of his claim that he was vending goods and articles on the streets of Nainital town, but petitioner could not produce any evidence in support of his claim. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner had submitted all documents in support of his application, which have been completely overlooked by the Nagar Palika Parishad, therefore, the impugned order cannot be sustained in the eyes of law. 6. Mr. Ajay Singh Bisht, learned counsel for respondent No. 2, however, controverts this statement made by learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that not even a single document was enclosed by the petitioner along with his application. He further submits that in the writ petition, petitioner has not enclosed any evidence to show that he was actually a street vendor earlier. He further submits that Nagar Palika Parishad used to issue Tehbazari receipt to the street vendor, therefore, if the claim of the petitioner was correct, it was incumbent upon the petitioner to at least produce one Tehbazari receipt along with his application. 7. This Court finds substance in the contention made by learned counsel for the Nagar Palika Parishad. In the writ petition also no evidence has been filed by the petitioner in support of his claim that he was a street vendor earlier. The impugned order clearly indicates that despite several opportunities, petitioner could not produce any evidence. 8. In such view of the matter, there is no scope for interference. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed.
