Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) scheme for identifying squatting and vending areas, emphasizing that such identification is an administrative function and not subject to judicial review unless there is a clear violation of public interest. The Court rejected the request for an independent survey, affirming that the MCD's decisions on squatting zones are final and cannot be challenged. However, the Court modified the scheme to allow the sale of beverages like tea and coffee under specific conditions to ensure waste disposal is managed properly.
