Madhav Prasad Chaudhary v. New Delhi Municipal Council and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
In a writ petition filed by a street vendor claiming fear of dispossession, the Delhi HC directed the petitioner to approach the Town Vending Committee with documents. The Court held that absence from the site during a survey alone is not ground for rejection without a hearing. The petition was disposed of with agreed directions.
What did the court decide?
Petitioner directed to approach TVC with documents; TVC directed to consider applying PET without rejecting solely based on non-squatting during survey.
