Gainda Ram & Ors vs M.C.D. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the challenges faced by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in managing hawking and non-hawking zones due to population influx and limited space. The Court noted the implementation of the 'National Policy on Urban Street Vendors' (NPSV) and the establishment of Ward Vending Committees to regulate vending sites. The Court emphasized the need for fair allotment processes and directed the MCD to ensure compliance with the NPSV, thereby upholding the rights of existing vendors while managing urban space effectively.
