The Himachal Pradesh High Court on Thursday gave shopkeepers of Pine Mall, popularly known as Kasauli Tibetan Market, four weeks to vacate the encroached area of Army Cantonment.
The HC’s direction came after shopkeepers of the area on Wednesday submitted an undertaking stating that they will vacate the encroached area.
As per details, on July 24, the counsel representing the shopkeepers had requested time to vacate the encroached area, after which the high court ordered them to file affidavits by July 26 to vacate the encroachment within four weeks on their own.
Recently, a local of Kasauli had moved the HC regarding the encroachment in Pine Mall and filed a PIL, claiming that 21 shops had been constructed illegally. The high court had then asked the authorities to file a response at the earliest. Post this, the Kasauli Cantt had given the 21 shopkeepers ten days to vacate the illegally occupied Army land or face action in ten days. The shopkeepers had then approached the Solan district court seeking time till July 25.
