The hawkers occupying the CST subway and Churchgate station can breathe easy, for now. The Bombay High court has reserved its judgment on the appeal made against the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for its order where it had asked the hawkers to vacate the premises within a month.

The appeal made by the association of the hawkers and represented by Anil Anturkar and Kalyani Tulankar, points out that the civic body had not followed the proper procedure under 105 B of BMC Act (Power to evict person), but the BMC contested that claim saying that since the land they are in is theirs, they are not entitled to serve a notice or follow a procedure.
