The High Court has issued contempt notice to the Haridwar district magistrate Deepak Rawat, Haridwar municipal commissioner and contractor Anuj Kumar.
The Laghu Vyapar Samiti of Haridwar had filed a petition in the High Court stating that in May 2016, the Government had issued regulations according to which weekly bazaars would be facilitated in areas under urban local bodies.
In the past, the High Court had also directed formation of a town vending committee. However, the said committee was not formed by the district administration. The matter was taken up for hearing in the single Bench of Justice VK Bisht.
