"To Satisfy Egos Of Some...": Gujarat Court On Action On Non-Vegetarian Carts
NDTV
Twenty-five street vendors whose carts had been seized by the Corporation recently. The vendors included those selling non-veg food, eggs as well as vegetables.
The Gujarat High Court on Thursday pulled up the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation for its recent drive against food stalls selling non-vegetarian food in the city, as it warned it that such actions should not be carried to "satisfy the egos" of some people. The civic body, however, said that only eateries that have encroached on public land faced action.
"Today someone has a nightmare and tomorrow morning you'll stop people from selling everything. Don't do it under a drive to satisfy the egos of some people," the single judge bench said.
Justice Biren Vaishnav made the comments while hearing a plea by 25 street vendors whose carts had been seized by the Corporation recently. The vendors included those selling non-veg food, eggs as well as vegetables.
The court also cautioned the civic body that such actions should not be carried under political pressure.
