Seal anything unauthorised: SC to MCD

New Delhi, August 24: THE Supreme Court on Friday made it clear that all unauthorised commercial structures in the Capital would have to be razed. The Supreme court rejected the plea submitted by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) of getting stay on demolition drive against illegal structures in 1500 unauthorised colonies filed by Union Urban Development Ministry and Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The appointed monitoring committee’s order dated August 14 this year had asked for sealing of unauthorized commercial establishments in the Capital.

The MCD in their Plea, stated that : As much as 40 lakhs people would be on the road if the sealing drive were not halted, but the court is firmed over this issue. A Bench of Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice D.K. Jain issued this warning to Additional Solicitor-General Vikas Singh and Sanjiv Sen, counsel for the MCD. The Bench told counsel, “You will invite contempt. Anything which is unauthorised shall be sealed. Otherwise you will face the consequences.” “Until the policy decision translates into a law, anything that is unauthorised as per the present law has to be sealed. If not, then it is contempt of court as the sealing is being carried out on court orders.”
