During the pendency of the instant writ petition, various directions came to be issued by the Court from time to time. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has also placed on record the purported compliance report and takes the position that most of the directions have already been complied with. 2. Mr. Manu Chaturvedi, learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, however, points out that some of the directions have been issued presumably on the ground that in the case of Kalyan Sanstha Social Welfare Organization v. UOI and Ors.1, the Court had directed for certain compliances. He submits that there are no such directions contained in Kalyan Sanstha Social Welfare Organization (supra), as has been understood by the Central Information Commission
