Summary: The Delhi High Court has given a 7-month extension for a food stall at Prayagraj Railway Station. This decision, made on December 17, 2025, allows MS Rajkumar Jaiswal Canteen and Contractor to keep running their stall until the middle of 2026.

Background of the Case

The case involves MS Rajkumar Jaiswal Canteen and Contractor, who asked for more time for their food stall at Prayagraj Railway Station. The stall, known as GMU/Stall No. 134/2019, was first approved on August 12, 2020, with permission to operate until December 19, 2025.

Previous Similar Cases

MS Rajkumar Jaiswal Canteen and Contractor mentioned earlier cases where more time was given. For example, on March 7, 2025, in the case of "Sadeek Ali Versus Union of India and Others," a 7-month extension was approved. This past decision helped support their request for a similar extension.

Court’s Decision

Judge Mini Pushkarna was in charge of the case. After listening to both sides, the court decided to give 7 more months for the stall, starting from December 19, 2025. MS Rajkumar Jaiswal Canteen and Contractor must pay the required fees and promise in writing to leave the stall after this period.

"The petitioner is directed to file an undertaking, on an affidavit, before this Court, within a period of four weeks from today."

Conditions and Future Implications

The court stated that this extension doesn't stop the Railways from looking for new people to run the stall after the 7 months. MS Rajkumar Jaiswal Canteen and Contractor must leave the stall by the end of the 7 months, or the Railways can take away their stuff.

Summary of the Verdict

The court decided to give MS Rajkumar Jaiswal Canteen and Contractor 7 more months to run their stall, but they must follow the rules set by the court and leave when the time is up.
