Madan Lal vs New Delhi Municipal Council & Anr

Bench: 2 — 2

In Brief

A street hawker in Sarojini Nagar Market sought permission to leave his goods overnight at his hawking location. The High Court rejected his petition, holding that hawking must be conducted strictly in accordance with the applicable hawking policy. The Supreme Court affirmed this reasoning, dismissing the special leave petition. The Court held that a hawker has no independent right to keep goods overnight outside the framework of the hawking policy, and authorities must act solely as per the policy.
