#Street Vendors Act 2014

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.

Kerala High Court holds that municipal authorities must conduct a fair hearing before evicting long-term street vendors under the Street Vendors Act, 2014, affirming procedural fairness.
