Summary: A long-standing argument about who gets a shop in Bowenpalli Market finally ends with a court decision supporting a trader who was left out. Judge T. Madhavi Devi orders that a shop be given to Ramesh & Sons Traders at a fair price.

Ramesh & Sons Traders' Plea for Fair Treatment

A business called Ramesh & Sons Traders wanted fair treatment because they didn't get a shop at Bowenpalli Market. Even though they were one of 11 traders who applied for a shop when the market moved from Monda Market in 1995, they were left out. They said this wasn't fair.

"Not giving shop No.17 to us is wrong and unfair."

The Long Road of Legal Battles

Ramesh & Sons Traders and other traders have been fighting in court since 1999. Their applications were first turned down because they worked outside Monda Market. Even after they took back a court case in 1999 because of promises made to them, their requests kept getting ignored.

Previous Court Rulings

In 2004, two traders successfully argued against the new market prices for getting a shop. The court agreed with them, so they got shops at the old prices. Ramesh & Sons Traders said they should be treated the same way.

"We are in the same situation as those in case No.7363 of 2004."

Respondent's Defense

The other side said Ramesh & Sons Traders couldn't get a shop because they worked outside Monda Market. They also mentioned plans to split existing shops into smaller ones, making it impossible to give out shop No.17.

Court's Final Decision

Judge T. Madhavi Devi decided in favor of Ramesh & Sons Traders, recognizing their ongoing efforts. The court told the other side to give a shop to Ramesh & Sons Traders for Rs.27,16,000 with 6% interest, just like previous shop allocations.

"They deserve the same help as others in similar situations."

Verdict Summary

The court's decision provides a fair solution to this long-standing issue, ensuring Ramesh & Sons Traders gets treated equally. They are now entitled to a shop at the same conditions as others who were in a similar situation.
