1.

This petition has been preferred with the following prayers:-

(a) Issue a writ of Certiorari thereby, quashing the decision of the Respondent of enforcing the odd even scheme in Delhi between November 4 -15, 2019 as the same is in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India.

(b) Issue suitable writs/directions in the nature of mandamus and any other writs directing the sole Respondent herein to set up an expert committee that may, apart from senior bureaucrats, also comprise of representatives of the Bar, to conduct a study on the viability of the said odd even scheme and any alternate arrangement that does not violate any fundamental right and also fills the void that the said scheme fails to take into account.

(c) any other writ, order or direction which may be deemed fit and proper under the facts and circumstances of the case and in the interest of justice be also passed in favour of the Petitioner and against the Respondent herein."
