No. of Paragraph 9

Observing that unlicensed hawkers have no right to vend on public land, the Bombay High Court on Thursday directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to take action against stalls of unlicensed vendors from a public road outside a society on a Hill Road area in Bandra (West).

The bench also said that the BMC must make its “annual pilgrimage” to Hill Road and complete the exercise of removing encroachments by illegal hawkers. The court asked BMC to inform what steps are being taken to remove the unauthorised and unlicensed street vendors from the “already congested Hill Road”.

The court said that there would be “an altercation on site” and BMC must seek protection and proper assistance from Bandra Police station to carry out action. The bench also referred to its order passed on Tuesday in a suo motu plea against illegal hawking menace, where it observed that public footpaths and roads cannot be allowed to be taken over by unlicensed vendors on a permanent basis and the same was “inconceivable” as it will impact fundamental rights of pedestrians and other users of the public spaces.

A division bench of Justices Gautam S Patel and Kamal R Khata passed an order while hearing a plea by the owners of a shop situated on the ground floor of a housing society building on Hill road. Advocates Mayur Khandeparkar, Amogh Singh and Neel A Gala for the petitioners sought direction to BMC and its assistant municipal commissioner of H-West ward to remove and/or demolish the illegal encroachments of hawkers from the open space of the society compound and from the road adjoining the building.
