The Court made the following Order:-

The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of respondent No.2 in interfering with the business activity of the petitioner. Respondent No.2 issued Proceedings dated 28.01.2026, calling upon the petitioner to submit a solvency certificate for an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- or furnish Demand Deposit of equivalent value. It is submitted that the petitioner deposited an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- on 08.04.2026, as called upon. However, respondent No.2 has now proposed to auction the shop.

2. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has completed 20 years of the lease period and has still five years remaining. It is further submitted that the petitioner is conducting business in Shop No.4 and that Shop No.3 was originally allotted to the petitioner's father, and the petitioner, after demolishing the internal wall, has been using both shops as one unit.

3. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.2 submits that Shop No.3 was allotted to the petitioner's father and that the lease period of 25 years has already been completed. Therefore, respondent No.2 proposes to auction the said shop.

On receipt of such representation, respondent No.2 shall consider the renewal of the lease in respect of Shop No.4 in favour of the petitioner for the remainder of the lease period.
