Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Petitioners challenged an eviction notice relying on a 2017 notification declaring their vending zones under a repealed 2011 Act. The Court held the Deputy Commissioner lacked jurisdiction to declare zones under the 2011 Act. Consequently, no rights accrued under the repealing 2018 Act to prevent eviction. The petition was dismissed.
What did the court decide?
The eviction notice dated 24.02.2023 was left unchallenged; interim vacation made. Petitioners directed to approach competent authority for valid notification.
