The Madras High Court on Tuesday appointed former Sikkim High Court Chief Justice Satish K. Agnihotri to select, by draw of lots, the 900 vendors to whom licences would be issued by the Greater Chennai Corporation for selling food items, souvenirs and other articles on modern push carts as part of the Marina Beach Beautification Project.
The Second Division Bench of Justices Vineet Kothari and M.S. Ramesh made the appointment after Additional Advocate General S.R. Rajagopal suggested the name of the retired judge and also stated that the latter had consented to supervise the draw of lots in order to ensure fairness and transparency in the process of selecting the vendors.
