Asif Pasha, 36 Yrs v. the Commissioner
Case brief
What is this about?
The Karnataka High Court dismissed writ petitions by street vendors seeking directions to prepare a vending plan under the Street Vendors Act 2014 and protection from eviction. The Court held that mandamus for general compliance was unnecessary as the Corporation is statutorily bound to comply, and specific violations must be established.
What did the court decide?
Writ petitions disposed of with no order as to costs; petitioners retained liberty to approach the Commissioner for license and permission to carry on business.
