Hoteliers’ plea dismissed

J. Venkatesan

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed as withdrawn a petition filed by the Hoteliers Association of Munnar seeking a directive to stay the demolitions carried out in Munnar in Kerala.

A Bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice R.V. Raveendran permitted the association to withdraw the petition with liberty to approach the High Court. Senior counsel T.L. Viswanatha Iyer, appearing for Kerala, objected to the petitioner approaching the Supreme Court and said they could go to the High Court.

The petitioner submitted that the demolitions were in violation of the fundamental rights to carry on their trade or business. When there were encroachments in every part of the State, targeting Munnar alone was against the principles of natural justice.
