Apex court refuses to interfere with HC orders on vendors

  • The Supreme Court today refused to interfere with the Punjab and Haryana High Court orders on removal of vendors from the no-vending zones.
  • The Supreme Court asserted: “Since the High Court is seized of the proceedings in the civil writ petition and is monitoring the entire issue pertaining to the carving out of vending and non-vending zones, we are not inclined to exercise our jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution”.
  • For these reasons, we leave it open to the petitioners to bring the grievance to the notice of the High Court.
  • Subject to the above observations, the SLP is dismissed,” the Bench added.
  • The Bench had also directed the competent authority in the Municipal Corporation and the UT Administration to consider and pass appropriate orders.
