Union ministry of urban development refused to comment on the apex court’s observation on the issue of sealing unauthorised commercial premises in residential area but sources said that ministry will now be consulting more experts, including legal, to seek solution for the issue.
With the apex court refusing to give more time for authorities concerned to seal such premises, the ministry received a set back on Friday.
"The bill, if finalised will likely be tabled during the next session of the Parliament. Now that the court has observed that there is a bureaucratic nexus, which resulted in such commercial premises to come up in residential area, the ministry is not in favour to take any step which angers the court," said a senior official of the ministry.
