Synopsis

This judgment by a Division Bench of the Delhi High Court disposes of a writ petition filed by a street vendor seeking a Certificate of Vending from the Delhi Cantonment Board. The petitioner claimed to have been vending at a specific site for over ten years. Following the Board's Town Vending Committee's resolution dated 15.01.2026, which provided that vendors who could produce at least three challans issued by the Board prior to 27.10.2023 would be considered for inclusion in the list of street vendors, the petitioner sought its application. The court, noting that the petitioner had produced two pre-2023 challans and that his case was similar to a previous matter (Danveer Yadav), directed the Board/Town Vending Committee to examine his case and communicate its decision within one month. The petition was disposed of with these directions.
