New Delhi: The spectre of sealing loomed large over certain areas of Delhi on Friday after the Supreme Court ruled that the MCD sealing drive will continue on unnotified roads.
In an order that could mean a body blow to thousands of traders, the court said its direction for sealing the premises unauthorisedly used for commercial activities in the residential areas on the un-notified roads in the national capital will remain operational.
"It needs no reiteration that the order dated February 12 will be carried out to its logical end," an SC bench, headed by Justice Arijit Pasayat, said.
The court had earlier on February 12 halted the sealing drive on 2183 roads notified for mixed land use under the new Master Plan for Delhi 2021.
The court was informed by senior advocate Ranjit Kumar, who is assisting as an amicus curiae in the matter, that the sealing operation has come to a grinding halt as, according to the monitoring committee report, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was reluctant to carry out the drive.
