Summary: The Delhi High Court has decided to extend the license for a food stall at Rewari Railway Station for seven more months, following a request by Saroj Rajendra Kumar Mangla. This decision is similar to previous cases.

The Case Background

Saroj Rajendra Kumar Mangla, the person who filed the request, wanted to keep running the food stall at Platform No. 2/3 of Rewari Railway Station in the Jaipur Division. The stall was originally given to them on February 15, 2019, for five years, starting December 2, 2020. This license was supposed to end on December 1, 2025.

Previous Court Decisions

The court has given extra time in similar cases before. For example, on March 7, 2025, in the case of "Sadeek Ali Versus Union of India and Others," a seven-month extension was given. The person in the current case asked for the same kind of extension.

Respondents' Position

The people on the other side, represented by Ms. Avshreya Pratap Singh Rudy and others, said that a new notice to apply for the stall was issued on November 4, 2025, but no new decisions were made about the stall in question.

Court's Authority and Decision

Judge Mini Pushkarna noted that the court had the power to decide on this matter, based on previous decisions. The court decided to extend the license because the Indian Railways' rules are the same for everyone and past decisions were similar.

"Considering the uniform rules of the Indian Railways, this Court proceeds to decide the present matter."

Final Directions

The court decided that Saroj Rajendra Kumar Mangla could run the stall for seven more months from December 1, 2025, after paying the license fees. The person must promise to leave the stall after this time. The Railways can ask for new applications for the stall after the extension period.

Verdict Summary

The court's decision is in line with earlier rulings, ensuring fairness and consistency in handling similar situations. Saroj Rajendra Kumar Mangla now has more time to manage the stall at Rewari Railway Station.
