Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by the Corporation against the High Court's interim injunction restraining the removal of business premises of small traders. The Court held that the High Court had previously approved a scheme for regulating hawkers and traders, which was necessary to prevent public nuisance caused by encroachments. The Court directed the Corporation to provide alternative sites for the respondents, emphasizing that the traders' claims of non-encroachment were unfounded and that the scheme's implementation was essential for public order.
