Article 19(1)(g) | Due Process Mandatory Before Evicting Street Vendors: AP High Court Upholds Constitutional Right to Livelihood

The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that municipal authorities cannot evict street vendors without following due process, reinforcing the constitutional right to livelihood under Article 19(1)(g). The judgment mandates compliance with the National Urban Street Vendors Policy, ensuring vendors are not arbitrarily displaced without notice or hearing, impacting thousands of informal workers across India.
