NEW DELHI: With the impasse continuing over the sealing drive in the national capital, all eyes will be on the Supreme Court when it hears a bunch of applications on Monday seeking relief for the traders.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal will hear the applications filed by the Centre, Delhi government and MCD seeking suspension of the sealing drive in view of the prevailing law and order situation in the aftermath of a three-day strike by the traders.

In the applications filed separately, the authoritiesc have sought relief for over 44,000 traders who had filed an affidavit giving undertakings to stop the misuse of premises in residential areas for commercial activities.

Such traders, by September 29 order, were allowed to continue their business till October 31 in view of the festival season.

However, in the application, the authorities sought relief for them like those covered under the controversial notifications of September 7 and 15, who have been allowed to continue their business subject to the outcome of validity of the notifications and the Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Act, 2006.

The Ministry of Urban Development and Municipal Coproration of Delhi (MCD) have submitted that the traders who  have filed affidavits, are feeling betrayed as against the traders getting away from sealing till January 31, 2007 even without giving any undertaking.

The court will also peruse the two reports submitted by the Monitoring Committee, the second of which was placed before the Registry in sealed cover as members of the committee were not happy with the leakage of the first report.
