W.P.(C) No.20531/2007 is filed as a Public Interest Litigation alleging that no steps are taken by the respondents to remove the illegal bunk shops and fish vending stalls conducted by the party respondents viz., respondents and seeks a writ of mandamus to the official respondents therein viz., State, Land Revenue Commissioner, Thiruvananthapuram, District Collector, Ernakulam, Revenue Divisional Officer, Fort Kochi, Corporation of Kochi, Commissioner of Police, Ernakulam and the Cochin Port Trust to take effective steps to remove all the unauthorized vendors from the Fort Kochi Beach area especially from the Kamala Kadavu to Vasco da Gama Square, whereas the other writ petitions are filed by the street vendors alleging illegal actions taken by the State its officials and the Corporation of Kochi to evict them from the areas where they are carrying on street vending through various means.

¶260

The basic contention advanced in W.P.(C) No.20531/2007 is that as a part of tourism development, and for the beautification of the Fort Kochi Beach, unauthorized vendors were evicted by the Revenue Authorities, and

¶261

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶262

¶263

land were handed over to the Corporation of Kochi for keeping the area clean and tidy. It is also submitted that though several meetings were held at the behest of the District Collector and other stakeholders in regard to the removal of the unauthorized trading activities and allotment of kiosks, nothing materialised consequent to which, the vendors evicted have re-occupied the space and no action is being initiated to evict the unauthorized encroachers by the Government and the District Administration. It is also pointed out that Fort

¶264

Kochi being a heritage town, unless and until immediate action is taken to remove the unauthorized bunk shops and other stalls, it would seriously affect the aesthetic value of the area and it can seriously hamper the promotion of tourism in the Fort Kochi area.

¶265

State as well as the Cochin Port Trust have filed counter affidavits refuting the allegations and the Secretary, Kochi Corporation has also filed a counter affidavit basically stating that steps are being taken to remove the unauthorized occupation after rehabilitating the street vendors and other stall owners and as soon as that is done, effective steps will be taken to ensure that the heritage zone is protected in all respects.

¶266

Writ petitions are filed by the street vendors before the introduction of Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014, hereinafter called, Act, 2014, relying upon various national policies and schemes and also the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Bill, 2012 introduced before the Parliament.

¶267

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶268

¶269

Various contentions are raised relying upon the national policy on Street Vending 2004-2009 and the Bill, 2012 in their favour, and also submitted that, the abrupt actions taken by the Government and statutory authorities are violative of Artilces 19(1)(g) , 21, the directive principles of State policy and fundamental duties of the state under the Constitution of India.

¶270

The sum and substance of the contention raised in the writ petitions filed by the street vendors when put together is that if they are forcibly evicted from the street vending activities, their livelihood would be seriously and adversely interfered with, which can hamper their family life and the day to day basic affairs. In some of the writ petitions it is pointed out that the State and the statutory authorities are duty bound to ensure that citizens carrying on with street vending are protected by suitable schemes and implement the policies of the Central as well as State Governments.

¶271

Anyhow, now we are guided by the Act, 2014 and the Rules thereto and the schemes framed by the State Government under the Act, 2014 and notified as per G.O.(P) No.10/2019/LSGD dated 30.2.2019. Therefore, whatever situation prior to the introduction of Act, 2014 no longer survives and the street vendors are entitled to get protection in terms of the Act, 2014 and the scheme framed by the State Government .

¶272

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the pleadings and materials on record.

¶273

The discussion of facts made above would make it clear that the writ

¶274

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶275

¶276

petitions, except W.P.(C) No.20531/2007, are filed by street vendors seeking protection of their livelihood derived from street vending business. Apparently, W.P.(C) No.20531/2007 is filed prior to the introduction of Act, 2014 and therefore, the reliefs sought for in the said writ petition overlooking the statutory protection provided under Act, 2014 cannot be granted. Act, 2014 was brought into force on and w.e.f. 5.3.2014 with the noble intention to protect the rights of urban street vendors and to regulate the street vending activities and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The statement of objects and reasons of the Act, 2014 reads thus:

¶277

“Statement of Objects and Reasons . - Street vendors constitute an important segment of the urban population. Street vendors are those who are unable to get regular jobs in the remunerative formal sector on account of their low level of education and skills. They earn their livelihood through their own meagre financial resources and sweat equity.

¶278

Street vending provides a source of self-employment, and thus acts as a measure of urban poverty alleviation without major Government intervention. Street vending also acts as an instrument to provide affordable as well as convenient services to a majority of urban population and has a prominent place in the urban supply chain and are an integral part of the economic growth process within urban areas.

¶279

Given the pace of urbanisation and the opportunities presented through the development of urban areas, the growth of street vendors is likely to have an upward trend. It is vital that these vendors are enabled to pursue their livelihoods in a congenial and harassment free atmosphere.

¶280

Considering the significant contribution made by street vendors to the urban society as a whole, more specifically to the comparatively poorer

¶281

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶282

¶283

sections, and to enable them to earn a livelihood through creation of good working conditions, without causing obstruction to the public, the Government of India brought out revised National Policy on Urban Street Vendors, 2009 which aims at securing right of the citizens to have adequate means of livelihood as enshrined in articles 14, 19(1)(8), 38(2), 39(a), 39(b) and 41 of the Constitution and fostering a congenial environment for the urban street vendors to carry out their activities, without harassment from any quarter. It also aims at providing a mechanism for regulation of street vending activities to avoid congestion on sidewalks and to ensure free flow of traffic on roads by a legislative framework to enable street vendors to pursue an honest living without harassment.

¶284

Thus, the proposed Bill is aimed at protecting the livelihood rights and social security of street vendors and regulation of urban street vending in the country and ensuring uniformity in the legal framework for street vending across States and Union territories. The proposed Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Bill, 2012, inter alia, seeks to provide for the following, namely:

¶285

(a) compulsory registration of every person intending to carry out street vending activities;

¶286

(b) issue of a certificate of vending and identity cards to street vendors;

¶287

¶288

(d) certain duties of the street vendors;

¶289

(e) constitution of Town Vending Committee in each local authority with minimum forty per cent, representation of street vendors, out of which one-third shall be women vendors and reasonable representation of the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, minorities and persons with disabilities;

¶290

(f) making of a plan for street vending once in every five years;

¶291

(g) framing of a scheme relating to street vending by the

¶292

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶293

¶294

appropriate Government;

¶295

(h) redressal of grievances and resolution of disputes of street vendors;

¶296

(i) promotional measures for making available credit, insurance and other welfare schemes of social security for the street vendors;

¶297

Street vending is defined as per section 2(l) of Act, 2014, which reads

¶298

thus:

¶299

(l) “Street vendor " means a person engaged in vending of articles, goods, wares, food items or merchandise of everyday use or offering services to the general public, in a street, lane, sidewalk, footpath, pavement, public park or any other public place or private area, from a temporary built up structure or by moving from place to place and includes hawker, peddler, squatter and all other synonymous terms which may be local or region specific; and the words “street vending" with their grammatical variations and cognate expressions, shall be construed accordingly;

¶300

Chapter II deals with regulation of street vending and section 3 thereto deals with survey of street vendors and protection from eviction or relocation, which reads thus:

¶301

Survey of street vendors and protection from eviction or relocation.- (1) The Town Vending Committee shall, within such period and in such manner as may be specified in the scheme, conduct a survey of all existing street vendors, within the area under its jurisdiction, and subsequent survey shall be carried out at least once in every five years.

¶302

(2) The Town Vending Committee shall ensure that all existing street vendors, identified in the survey, are accommodated in the vending zone subject to a norm conforming to two and half per cent. of the population the ward or zone or town or city, as the case may be, in accordance with the plan for street vending and the holding capacity of the vending zones.

¶303

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶304

¶305

(3) No street vendor shall be evicted or, as the case may be, relocated to the survey specified under sub-section (1) has been completed and the certificate of vending is issued to all street vendors.”

¶306

On a conjoint reading of the objects and reasons of Act, 2014 and section 3 (3), it is clear that no street vendor shall be evicted or relocated unless the survey is completed and survey of street vending is issued to all street vendors. The Act, 2014 has many facets in regard to the implementation of the provisions of the Act. The State Government as well as Local Self Government Institutions are duty bound to constitute a Town Vending Committee with Municipal Commissioner as Chairperson in order to implement the provisions of the Act and to prepare a plan for street vending activities.

¶307

The State Government, in accordance with the powers conferred under section 38 of Act, 2014, has introduced a Scheme viz., Kerala Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood, Regulation of Street Vending and Licensing) Scheme, 2015. On a reading of the provisions of the scheme, it is categoric and clear that the State Government has formulated a clear policy in order to rehabilitate the street vendors and regulate street vending to translate the intentions of the Act, 2014 in its letter and spirit.

¶308

We are also informed that the Local Self Government Institutions through the Town Vending Committees have already drawn up a list of street vendors, who are entitled to get the protection of the Act, 2014 and the Rules

¶309

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶310

¶311

thereto.

¶312

In that view of the matter, the writ petitions are to be disposed of in terms of the provisions of the Act, Rules and the Scheme prepared by the State Government. Accordingly the writ petitions, except W.P.(C) No.20531/2007, are disposed of directing the State Government as well as respective Local Self Government Institutions/Town Vending Committees to take appropriate action in order to comply with the provisions of the Act,

¶313

2014 and the Rules thereto and the Scheme prepared by the State Government as is specified above, at the earliest possible time and at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

¶314

So far as W.P.(C) No.20531/2007 is concerned, the relief sought for by the petitioner are as follows:

¶315

(i) Issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction,directing the respondents to take effective steps to remove all the unauthorised vendors from the Fort Kochi Beach Area especially from Kamalakadavu to Vasco da Gama Square.

¶316

(ii) issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction,directing the 3^rd respondent to take effective steps to implement the order of the 2^nd respondent dated 17/5/2007, forthwith.

¶317

(iii) issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction,directing the 3rd respondent not to allot the kiosks to the unauthorised vendors as reported in Ext. P-3;

¶318

(iv) issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction,directing the 3^rd respondent to allot the kiosks on the basis of open tender to the qualified/eligible persons;

¶319

(v) issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, Order or

¶320

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶321

¶322

Direction,directing the 8^th respondent to take appropriate measures to evict the un-authorised vendors and remove the bunks from the Fortkochi Beach area which is in the possession of the 8th respondent.

¶323

(vi) issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction,directing the 3^rd respondent to take appropriate steps to notify the area for fish landing and fishselling away from the heritage zone, mentioned by the 4^th respondent Society;

¶324

(vii) issue such other writ, order or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper on the facts and circumstances of this case and interest of justice.

¶325

Going through the above reliefs sought for, it is evident and clear that the relief sought for are in violation of the mandatory requirements contained under Section 3(3) of Act, 2014, other consequential provisions and Scheme framed by the State Government. In that view of the matter, the prayers sought for in the said writ petition cannot be granted and accordingly the said writ petition is dismissed.

¶326

However, we make it clear that once necessary steps are taken by the State Government as well as the Local Self Government Institutions and the street vendors are rehabilitated in terms of the provisions of the Act, 2014 and the Rules thereto and the Schemes framed by the Government and if any unauthorised street vendor is occupying the Fort Kochi area, steps shall be taken immediately thereafter in order to evict such street vendors from the premises in question bearing also in mind the intention of the Parliament to remove the unauthorised street vendors not protected under the Act 2014 and

¶327

WP(C).20531 of 2007 & con.cases

¶328

¶329

the rules thereto in order to save the interests of public at large, avoiding traffic congestion, making the foot paths user friendly to pedestrians and the differently abled, regulating vehicular traffic and thus avoiding road accidents.

¶330

We also make it clear that the Act 2014 was introduced in addition to the various other Statutes made by the central and State Governments to protect, the heritage value of properties, monuments, aesthetic value, regulating trade and commerce for convenience of the public and thus to keep all public premises clean and tidy for beneficial enjoyment of the citizens and therefore all the stakeholders are directed to ensure the protection of the citizens accordingly .
