Don't evict us, say Marina hawkers

The TN Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Amaippusara Matrum Kattumaana and Meenpidi Thoililar Padukappu Peravai have moved the Madras High Court to implead it as a party in an earlier writ petition, based on which the High Court granted an interim injunction on January 29 this year.

The January 29 order directed the Chennai Corporation not to allow any unauthorised hawkers to operate on the sands of Marina beach.

The first bench comprising acting Chief Justice R K Agrawal and Justice M Sathyanarayanan posted a further hearing on June 25.

Petitioner Peravai submitted that its 250 members were small time traders dependent upon the meagre income. They had not erected any permanent structures on the sands.
