In a first, Delhi High Court judges to hold meeting on street vending issues in capital’s markets

The court Wednesday said that there seems to be some “disconnect” and the officials are probably not applying their minds or have not understood the way the Act is to be implemented. A division bench of the Delhi High Court Wednesday said it would meet chairpersons of municipal bodies and the director of the DDA on Saturday to understand the problems being faced in implementation of the Street Vendors Act. The division bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Jasmeet Singh has, for the past few weeks, been hearing the petitions on street vending in the national capital, and has pulled up authorities for not having a plan in place as required under the law and for allowing street vendors to function even in markets declared no-hawking zones. The court has been hearing petitions of traders’ bodies of various markets as well as those filed by the street vendors. The court Wednesday said that there seems to be some “disconnect” and the officials are probably not applying their minds or have not understood the way the Act is to be implemented.
