Street Vendors Act, 2014 | Licensee May Change Goods Sold After Original Supplier Ceases Operations; Cancellation Violates Right to Livelihood : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that cancelling a street vendor’s license solely because their original supplier stopped business violates the right to livelihood under the Street Vendors Act, 2014. Municipal authorities must permit vendors to switch to new goods within four weeks, recognizing vending as a dynamic livelihood, not a static contractual arrangement tied to a single supplier.
