Delhi High Court Orders Timely Seizure Memos and Videography for Street Vendors
The Delhi High Court directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) to issue seizure memos to street vendors within 24 hours of confiscating goods, including details like seizure date, item list, shelf numbers, fines, and officer information. The court also mandated videographing the seizure process. The order followed a petition by Rehri Patri Ekta Manch, which highlighted vendors were previously given only fine receipts without detailed memos. Authorities explained that memos are prepared later to prevent evasion by other vendors, and seized goods are stored in designated warehouses until fines are paid.
