On Wednesday, High Court Judge Navindra Singh granted an application filed by Banks DIH Limited for the removal of vendors from outside its Demico House, Stabroek Market Square location – the company having cited fruitless approaches to both the police and the city for remedies.
In granting the orders sought, Justice Singh has directed both the Town Clerk and Engineer of the City—against whom the action was filed—to ensure the removal of the vendors and their stalls.
In its fixed date application (FDA), Banks DIH (the Applicant) pointed out that for many years persons have been vending on its north to west pavements—opposite the Stabroek Market—and the southwestern pavement opposite Parliament Building.
