Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court dismissing the appellant's Letters Patent Appeal against the NDMC's order relocating him due to security concerns. The Court emphasized that the relocation was justified under Article 39(a) of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to livelihood, provided it does not infringe on public safety. The Court found that the NDMC's actions were within their authority to ensure security and public order, thus affirming the relocation order.
